Set up BBPOS Chipper 2X BT

Learn how to set up the BBPOS Chipper 2X BT.

This reader is no longer available for purchase. If you’re getting started with Stripe Terminal, we recommend viewing our current reader offerings.

Available in:

The BBPOS Chipper 2X BT is a handheld reader for use with mobile applications. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) or USB (Android only) to connect to the Stripe Terminal SDK on a mobile device.

This reader is compatible with iOS and Android SDKs. To view the reader’s parts and features, see the BBPOS Chipper 2X BT product sheet.

Turn the reader on and off

You can turn on the BBPOS Chipper 2X BT reader by pressing and releasing the power button. The status light turns on to indicate power. The reader waits for a connection for five minutes before turning off.

When the reader connects to a device running your app, its status light shines steady blue. If inactive for more than 30 seconds, it enters standby mode to conserve power, and the status light begins flashing at 5-second intervals. The reader stays connected to your iOS or Android device while in standby and automatically exits standby mode when you resume activity.

The reader automatically turns off after 10 hours of inactivity. You can turn the reader off manually by pressing and holding the power button until the status light goes out. You don’t need to turn off the reader to conserve power.

With typical usage, you only need to fully charge the reader once per day.

Status light

When you turn on the BBPOS Chipper 2X BT, the LED located beside the power button shows the reader’s current status.
