A business location connects the workstation to its products, tabs, floor and payment hardware. Set it during setup, then keep staff working in that context.

Assign the workstation
- Open More → Business location, Devices → Business location, or the cog beside the location shown in an operations screen.
- Select the business location used by this device.
- Check the displayed location name before taking orders or assigning guests.
A manager changing a device's assignment should finish or save its current work first. Saved orders remain associated with their own location.
Maintain the business address
Open Business details for the selected location. Enter the business's physical address using address suggestions, select the country and state or region, and review the city and postal code before saving. Editing business details requires the appropriate organization access.
These details belong to the business location and can be reused for payment-terminal registration. Keep them accurate when a site moves or its address changes.
Configure the card terminal
Open Card terminal (M2) from the business-location screen. The reader setup uses the selected business location and its address to register the corresponding Stripe Terminal location. Complete missing business details here before connecting the reader.
- Power on the reader and put it in pairing mode.
- Start discovery and select the matching serial number.
- Keep the reader powered, nearby and connected while any firmware update completes.
- Wait for the connected status before using it at checkout.
The saved reader is used for subsequent connections. When the app returns to the foreground, it attempts to recover saved device connections. Forget or Unpair is for deliberately removing an association, not for ordinary daily use.
