PRO TIP: If you are using a Shopify card reader, please be aware that there is currently a known issue with connecting the reader to certain devices. We are working on a fix for this issue, but in the meantime, we recommend that you use an alternate method of accepting payments. Thank you for your understanding.

Conclusion:

Connecting your card reader to Shopify is simple and only takes a few minutes. Once you have completed the steps above, you will be able to start processing credit cards through your Shopify account.
