Choose an integration type

For BBPOS WisePOS E readers in the United States, we recommend the server-driven integration, which uses the Stripe API instead of a Terminal SDK.

For other readers, use the Stripe Terminal SDK for JavaScript, iOS, or Android. If you already have an application in one of these programming languages, use the corresponding SDK. Otherwise, refer to the table below to select an SDK that’s compatible with the reader of your choice.
