Stripe Reader M2

The Stripe Reader M2 is a pocket-sized reader that’s designed for on-the-go transactions. The Stripe Reader M2 is ideal for accepting payments on your mobile device. Process transactions while you’re bouncing between appointments, traveling to clients, or at an event.

BBPOS WisePOSTM

This full-featured terminal offers an interactive display screen and engaging checkout experience for customers. It lets clients review specific details of their transaction in real time.

This card reader works best at a dedicated workspace, like a reception desk, but can complete a transaction from a mobile phone, tablet, or computer. It connects to one device at a time. So, if you have two computers at your reception desk, we recommend getting two card readers. 

Pricing for the Stripe Reader M2 and the BBPOS WisePOSTME

With regards to pricing for the Stripe Reader M2 and the  BBPOS WisePOSTM E, remember there’s no monthly fees or charges to setup. Basically, once you have a card reader, you only pay when customers are purchasing your services or products. 

The processing fee per transaction with a Booksy Card Reader is 2.49% + $0.10 USD. There’s a $15 fee for any chargebacks to offset processing fees. And that $15 fee only applies when a client contests a charge, and you refund their money. Naturally, you will always be in charge of verifying charbacks.
