Connect A Mobile Card Reader

Learn how to connect a Bluetooth Mobile Card Reader to the Auctria Admin app.

There are several steps to follow when connecting a Mobile Card Reader to the Auctria Admin app. The Admin App is available for both iOS and Android devices, and the steps below apply to either platform.


Steps

  1. Log into your event on the Admin App.
  2. Tap the hamburger menu at the top left of the screen and choose Settings from the list.
  3. Tap the Reader button at the top of the list.
  4. Choose Bluetooth reader from the options.

Skip The Bluetooth Reader

You can forgo a Bluetooth reader entirely and choose the This iOS/Android device option instead, which turns your phone into a Tap-to-Pay reader.

  1. Choose your preferred reader from the list. If you haven't set up a device yet, tap Add new device at the bottom of the page. The app will search for nearby devices — follow the prompts to pair the device.

Naming Multiple Readers

If you have multiple Bluetooth readers, we recommend renaming them so you can tell them apart in your list.

  1. Choose the newly paired device from your list.
  2. If the connection was successful, a confirmation message will appear, and the Reader button will change from red to green.
