Once a user has been assigned a Stripe S700 Terminal, they can launch any online Donation form within their AssociationSphere account and use the terminal to process in-person credit card donations.

**Using the Donation Form**

- If the donor already has a Constituent record, we recommend opening the Donation form directly from that Constituent’s profile.
- Alternatively, after launching the form, you can use the **Constituent Search** bar at the top of the screen to find and select an existing Constituent. This will automatically populate their information into the billing section of the Donation form.
- Please note: if the Constituent already has a credit card saved on file, the terminal **cannot** be used to process a payment with that saved card.

**Selecting the Terminal as Payment Method**

1. Enter the donation details and donor contact information into the form.
2. In the **Payment Method** dropdown, select **Terminal**.
3. The standard **Submit** button will be replaced with a blue **Pay with Card Reader** button.
4. Click **Pay with Card Reader** to activate the terminal.

**Processing the Payment**

- If the terminal is powered off, not connected to Wi-Fi, or not assigned to your user account, an error message will appear.
- When active, the terminal screen will display the donation amount and prompt you to **tap or insert** the card.
- A beep will confirm the card has been read.
- The terminal will then display either a success message (if the transaction is approved) or an error message (e.g., if the card was declined).

**Transaction Confirmation**

- The online Donation form will update to show the confirmation or error message.
- Successful transactions will automatically appear on the **Transactions grid** within AssociationSphere.
