How to set up Final Terminal for the first time

The first-run setup on a Final Terminal — sign in, select your company and outlet, name the terminal, run a test payment, and choose your employee PIN.

Before you begin

You set up Final Terminal on the terminal device itself, after our team onboards you and gets you a terminal (a Verifone V660p or Stripe Reader S700). To get one, reach out to us at sales@finalpos.com. You'll need your sign-in email and your employee PIN.

Set up the terminal

  1. Sign in. On the terminal, sign in with your email — enter your password, or choose "Use email code instead" and enter the 6-digit code sent to your email.

  2. Select a company. On "Select a company," choose which company to connect this terminal to.

  3. Wait for it to sync. The terminal shows "Setting up your terminal — Syncing your data…" and continues automatically once it's done ("All set!").

  4. Select an outlet. On "Select an outlet," choose which outlet this terminal belongs to. The payment reader connects ("Connecting payment reader").

  5. Run the setup wizard. Tap Get Started, enter a Terminal name, and tap Continue. On the confirmation screen, check the card reader status, optionally Run Test Payment, then tap Start Using Terminal.

  6. Choose your profile and enter your PIN. On "Select employee," choose who is operating the terminal and enter your PIN.

The terminal is now on the home screen and ready to take payments — Quick Charge, Quick Refund, and MOTO.
