## Payment devices

The Revolut POS app supports connecting Revolut Terminal and Revolut Reader for processing card payments. To manage your payment devices, go to **:Ellipsis: More > :CardReader: Hardware > :CardTerminal: Payment devices**.

:::note
With **Revolut Quick Sign-up**, you can only take cash payments. When you're ready to accept card payments, connect or create a Revolut Merchant account.
:::

### Connect devices

The connection process differs depending on the device type:

- ![Terminal]

  Terminals connect automatically when the following conditions are met:
  - **Pay at Counter** mode is enabled on the Terminal. See [Additional features: Enable Pay at Counter](/docs/guides/merchant/accept-payments/in-person-payments/terminal/additional-features#enable-pay-at-counter).
  - The Terminal is logged in to the same location as your POS app.

  Once these conditions are met, your Terminal will appear automatically in the **Terminals** section (no scanning required). Simply select the correct Terminal by matching the 3 digits displayed on the Terminal screen.

  :::note
  You can connect multiple Terminals simultaneously to the same POS app.
  :::

- ![Reader]

  To connect a Revolut Reader:

  1. Tap **Scan** in the **Readers** section.
  1. Choose the correct Reader by matching the 3 digits displayed in the app with the 3 digits on the back of your Reader.
  1. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process.
  1. The :CheckSuccess: icon next to the Revolut Reader indicates that the device is successfully connected and ready to use.

  :::warning
  - If the Reader is updating, wait for the update to complete. Do not close the Revolut POS app during this process, as doing so may cause the update to fail.
  - Only one Reader can be connected at a time.
  :::

### Edit devices

:::note
This section applies to Terminals only.
:::

You can customise Terminal settings to streamline your payment workflow:

#### Set as default

Setting a Terminal as default automatically pushes payments to that device during checkout. To set a default Terminal:

1. Tap :Ellipsis: next to the Terminal.
1. Select **:Check: Set as default**.

If no default is set, you'll need to manually select a device from the list when choosing card payment. Even if a default Terminal is set, you can override this selection during checkout. For detailed instructions, see [Order management: Select payment method](/docs/guides/merchant/accept-payments/in-person-payments/pos/ios-app/order-management#select-payment-method).

#### Edit name

You can rename devices for easier identification:

1. Tap :Ellipsis: next to the Terminal.
1. Select **:Pencil: Edit name**.
1. Enter a new name and save.

### Disconnect/forget devices

- ![$Terminal]

  To disconnect a Terminal from the POS app, you must disable **Pay at Counter** mode on the Terminal device itself:

  1. On the Terminal, go to :Menu: **More > Settings > Checkout**.
  1. Toggle **Pay at Counter** to disable it.

  The Terminal will no longer appear in the POS app's connected devices list.

  :::info
  For detailed instructions, see [Additional features: Disable Pay at Counter](/docs/guides/merchant/accept-payments/in-person-payments/terminal/additional-features#disable-pay-at-counter).
  :::

- ![$Reader]

  To disconnect or forget a Reader:

  1. Tap :Ellipsis: next to the Reader in the device list.
  1. Choose one of the following options:
     - **:Link: Disconnect:** Temporarily disconnects the Reader. You can reconnect it later without re-pairing.
     - **:Delete: Forget device:** Permanently removes the pairing. You'll need to scan and pair the Reader again to reconnect.

## Printers

Setting up printers in the Revolut POS app allows you to seamlessly print receipts and kitchen orders directly from your device.

### Supported printers

The following printer models are supported:

- Star TSP 100 III - TSP 143
- Star Micronics TSP143IV
- Epson TM-m30III

:::note
Any variation of these printers is compatible (e.g., Bluetooth, USB, WLAN, LAN)
:::

### How to choose the right printer

The printer you need depends on your business setup:

- **USB:** A printer that connects only to one device via a USB cable, suitable for printing customer receipts. In addition, a USB printer requires a USB-A to USBC-C adapter to connect to the iPad. 
- **Bluetooth:** A printer that connects only to one device via Bluetooth, suitable for printing customer receipts and an awesome option if you don't want to deal with cables. You can also use it to print kitchen tickets but not recommended (kitchen could be far from the device, bluetooth connection can become unstable).
- **LAN:** A printer that connects to multiple devices but has to be plugged into a router with an ethernet cable, providing a more stable connection. Suitable for kitchen printers.
- **Wi-Fi (WLAN):** A printer that connects to multiple devices, and doesn't have to be connected with a cable to the router. Connection can be less stable as on the LAN. Suitable for kitchen printers.
