How to connect a Card Reader to your phone via a wired connection

If you are experiencing issues connecting your Card Reader to your smartphone via Bluetooth, you can connect it using a wired connection.

To connect via a cable, please follow these steps: #

1) Plug the USB-C to USB-C cable into your smartphone and into the Card Reader.

2) Open the Sync™ app, tap the”My Devices” tile on the home page, and then “Connect a card reader“.

3) Select “Try other discovery methods” and then on the drop-down select “USB“.

4) An option to select Wisepad 3 will then appear at the top. Tap on this option and it will take you back to “My Devices” showing that the device has connected.

Once connected, you can send payments to your Card Reader in the usual way, for more details click here.
