Bluetooth and location for merchant hardware
What merchants should know
- Supported readers depend on your device, Stripe account configuration, and region.
- For receipt printing, prefer classic Bluetooth ESC/POS SPP thermal printers (for example Epson TM-P, Bixolon SPP-R, and compatible Star portable models).
- Bluetooth is used for compatible reader connectivity and nearby hardware operations.
- Location access supports reader discovery and related merchant setup tasks on supported devices, with Android system permission prompts.
- New-order alerts are controlled by app settings plus Android notification settings for final delivery behavior.
- Android biometric app lock can be enabled for shared merchant devices with swipe-up unlock and system biometric verification.
- Tap to Pay, QR checkout, and kiosk mode may vary by device, build, and deployment setup.
