Modified on Fri, 30 Jun, 2023 at 12:11 PM

The following are the most common troubleshooting steps for the WisePad 3 card reader.

The WisePad 3 card reader won't pair with the Smart Pay Terminal device

  1. Verify that Bluetooth on your Smart Pay terminal device is turned on.

  2. Verify that the Smart Pay terminal app has permission to connect to Bluetooth in your device settings.

  3. Verify that you have a stable internet connection. Smart Pay terminal needs to connect to the internet through Wi-Fi or your device's cellular data to process payments. 

  4. Verify that your WisePad 3 card reader is charged above 50% battery. If it's not, then charge it to above 50% before trying again because the device might experience trouble pairing with less than 50% battery, even if it's plugged in.

  5. Verify whether the WisePad 3 card reader is connected to a different device. If it is, then unpair it from that device before trying to pair it with a new device.

  6. Kill the Smart Pay terminal on your device and then open it again.
