If you’re new to Shopify, you might be wondering how to wake your Shopify card reader. Here’s a quick guide to help you get started.

First, make sure that your ShopifyPOS app is open and you’re logged in to your Shopify account. Then, simply tap the card reader icon in the top right corner of the screen. Doing so will wake up your card reader and prompt it to begin searching for a Bluetooth connection.

If your card reader is already paired with your device, it will automatically connect and begin processing payments. If not, you’ll be given the option to pair your device with the card reader. Simply follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

PRO TIP: If you are having trouble waking your Shopify card reader, here are a few things to try:

1. Check that the reader is plugged in and turned on.

2. Try pressing the power button on the reader.

3. If the reader is connected to your phone or tablet, try restarting your device.

4. If you are using a Bluetooth connection, try reconnecting the reader to your device.

5. Contact Shopify support for help.

Once your card reader is paired and connected, you’re ready to start processing payments! To do so, simply tap the “charge” button in the POS app and follow the on-screen prompts. When you’re finished, be sure to properly disconnect your card reader so that it doesn’t continue trying to process payments.
