Ticketstripe Box Office App Tutorial
Use Ticketstripe’s Box Office app to accept cash, credit/debit cards, and Google/Apple wallet payments at the door.
The Box Office app functionality of our app is available on Android phones and iOS phones, tablets and Mac Books in the United States.
All Ticketstripe accounts can use our Box Office app to accept cash payments.
To accept credit card and wallet payments your Ticketstripe account requires a connected Stripe account and a Stripe Reader M2 that can be purchased directly from Stripe.
Connect Stripe Reader M2 to Ticketstripe Box Office
1. Order a Stripe Reader M2 here
2. Sign into your Ticketstripe account and add a Box Office Location here
This is the physical address where you will be using your Stripe Reader M2. You will need it to connect your reader.
3. Download the Android app here
4. Turn on your phone’s Bluetooth and the Stripe Reader M2
Important
- Make sure your Stripe Reader M2 is fully charged
- Do not manually pair the Stripe Reader M2 until our app prompts you to connect
5. Launch the Ticketstripe app. Sign in > Go to Settings (Menu)
To use the Box Office you can sign in with your main Ticketstripe account or, if multiple people will be assisting with sales, you can create a separate user with access to Box Office only here.
6. Click on Credit Card Terminal and follow App instructions to connect your Stripe Reader M2
If this is a new Stripe Reader M2, there will be a software update that might last 10 to 30 minutes. The app will show the update progress. Do not close or switch from the app while downloading or it might interrupt the process. Once the update finishes downloading and installing it will switch back to the Settings screen showing a successful connection status.
