If you have a card reader contract through Trybe, please follow the guide below relating to an integrated card reader. If you are using your own card reader to take payments for orders in Trybe, please follow the guide below for manual card readers.

Please note that card terminal transactions are for payments and refunds only. Card authorisations can be completed by using using pay by Link, the guide for this can be found here.

An integrated card terminal can make transactions quicker for you and your team. If you are interested in a rental agreement with Trybe for a card reader please contact your onboarding executive or [email protected].

Setting up an integrated card reader

After the terminal is delivered, let the Trybe team know, so we can mark the delivery as successful. Then please follow the steps below:

1) Turn the terminal on and follow the on‑screen prompts to connect to a private Wi‑Fi network, (not public Wi‑Fi).

2) If prompted for an admin passcode on your card reader, use 3343 for settings/admin access (or 2102 for transaction print‑outs).


​3) On an internet browser, log in to Trybe, go to Settings > Integrations > Manage Integrations> Trybe Pay, scroll down to Terminals, and click the Reload button.


​4) The terminal should appear in the list and be ready for you to use. You can use the three‑dot menu to rename it if needed.

Please note joining fees, pro rata payments and membership fees are processed slightly differently and the guide for processing those payments can be found here. Click "confirm" button on the order, to finalise the items before taking payment. Or "confirm and pay £xx" button to proceed straight to payment types.
