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

**Using the Event Form**

- If the registrant already has a Constituent record, we recommend opening the Event form directly from that Constituent’s profile.
- Alternatively, after launching the Event 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 billing information into the Event 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. Launch the Event form and complete all registration selections.
2. Enter or verify the registrant’s billing information.
3. Under the **Payment Type** menu at the bottom of the page, select **Credit Card**.
4. A **Payment Method** menu will appear. From this menu, select **Terminal**.
5. The standard **Submit** button will be replaced with a blue **Pay with Card Reader** button.
6. 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 will display the total transaction 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 Event form will update to show either a confirmation or error message.
- Successful registrations will appear on both the **Events grid** and the **Transactions grid** within AssociationSphere.
