Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:38 pm

To use your Shopify card reader, first make sure that it is properly plugged into your device. Once it is plugged in, open the Shopify app and sign in to your account.

On the main screen, tap on the “Shopify Card Reader” icon. This will open up the card reader interface. Tap on the “Start” button to begin using the card reader.

PRO TIP: If you are using a Shopify card reader, be aware that your data may be at risk. Shopify has been known to have security issues in the past, and their card readers are no exception. Make sure that you only use your Shopify card reader in a secure location, and be sure to keep your data safe.

To use the card reader, simply hold the card up to the reader and wait for it to be read. Once the card is read, you will be prompted to enter the amount of money that you wish to charge.

Enter the amount and then tap on the “Charge” button. The transaction will then be processed and you will receive a confirmation receipt.

That’s all there is to using your Shopify card reader! With this handy tool, you can easily take payments from customers without having to carry around a bulky POS system.
