Stripe Terminal

Activity Messenger allows you to take payments in person using the Stripe BBPOS WisePOS E terminal reader. Accepts credit cards, VISA debit and Interac in Canada.

Terminal readers can be purchased directly from Stripe. In the Stripe portal, click on the Payments menu and then choose Reader. If you are running one-off events, Activity Messenger can rent you terminals. Contact us at support@activitymessenger.com to inquire.

Inquire about Pricing in Stripe. Note that just like other types of transactions, Activity Messenger also adds 1% service fee.
