Choose an integration type

The server-driven integration is generally available in the United States. To request access to the server-driven integration in countries other than the US, please email stripe-terminal-betas@stripe.com.

For BBPOS WisePOS E readers, 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, Android, or React Native. 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.
