Set up BBPOS WisePad 3

Learn how to set up the BBPOS WisePad 3.
Available in:

The BBPOS WisePad 3 is a handheld reader for use with mobile applications. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or USB (Android only) to connect to the Stripe Terminal SDK on a mobile device. The WisePad 3 features a display and PIN pad, which facilitates use in countries where PIN-authenticated transactions are more common.

This reader is compatible with our iOS and Android SDKs and is available for use in select non-US markets on an invite-only basis during our private beta. To view the reader’s parts and features, see the BBPOS WisePad 3 product sheet.

Turn the reader on and off

You can turn on the BBPOS WisePad 3 reader by pressing and holding the power button, located at the top right of the PIN pad. The display powers on and shows the device’s splash screen.

The display dims after a few seconds of inactivity. If inactive and disconnected from your application for more than 5 minutes, it beeps and powers off. Turn off the reader manually by pressing and holding the power button until the LED display shows a “Power off?” prompt, then press the green enter button to confirm.

With typical usage, you generally need to charge the reader once per day. The reader can typically accept approximately 600 contact or 800 contactless transactions in a single charge cycle.

Charge the reader

To charge the BBPOS WisePad 3, use the included cable or a USB-A to USB-C cable.

Default reader language

The BBPOS WisePad 3 supports changing reader language directly in the reader interface. After you have registered your reader to a Location, the reader installs a language pack relevant for your region if one isn’t already in place. To view available language options and to select a language, click the Power / Settings button and scroll down using the arrow keys until you reach the language selection menu. Highlight your desired language and press the green Enter key.
