When you try to place an order, the POS reader does not display the order total in order for the customer to submit payment...
As a reminder - once the customer is ready to checkout, simply click on the 'purchase' button. The reader should then light up indicating the order total, allowing the customer to submit payment. If this is not the case, please ensure you have followed the necessary steps (outlined below) and try again.
1. Make sure your reader is charged + turned on.
2. Make sure your reader is connected to Wifi. Once your reader is charged and turned on it should show as 'online' from the drop-down on pos.getbarcart.com
.
3. Make sure you have selected your reader name from the dropdown on pos.getbarcart.com at the beginning of your event/testing. We recommend re-selecting the reader from the drop-down after 30 minutes of inactivity as well.
4. If the issue persists reach out to [email protected] with a detailed explanation of the error (include screenshots and videos whenever possible.)
The POS reader is connected to Wi-Fi but I'm getting a 'No internet' error...
1. When prompted by the reader, click 'try again.'
2. If that does not work, force a restart by holding down the power button for 6 seconds.
3. If the issue persists reach out to [email protected] with a detailed explanation of the error (include screenshots and videos whenever possible.).
Flashing LEDs...
One flashing light is normal. Please see below for irregular flashing LEDs.
If you experience any of the above LEDs please force a restart by holding the power button for 6 seconds. If the issue persists, let us know right away.
If the WisePOS E is unable to update
If your reader doesn't update, it's possible that it can't connect to Stripe. To check its connectivity, go to settings (swipe right, enter the Admin PIN: 07139), then select Diagnostics. This displays a list of troubleshooting tests. Check Stripe connectivity and ensure it says "Passed."

We're eager to hear all feedback (good and bad) as we continue to improve your POS experience. Please bring all new and persistent issues to our attention so we can get to the bottom of it for you.
