Processing Payments with the Chipper 2X BT card reader

Learn about the supported payment types and how to process payments with your Chipper 2X BT card reader.

Supported payment types

You can use the Chipper 2X BT card reader to accept payments from the following payment types:

• Visa and Visa Debit
• Mastercard and Debit Mastercard
• American Express
• Discover (only for locations in United States, Canada, and United Kingdom)
• Diners Club (only for locations in United States, Canada, and United Kingdom)
• JCB (only for locations in United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand)
• Union Pay (only for locations in United States and Canada)
• eftpos (Australia only)
• Interac (Canada only)

Most national debit cards such as Interac, girocard, or eftpos cards that are co-badged with Visa or Mastercard can process payments outside the card issuer's country using Visa and Mastercard. Some co-badged debit cards that don't process payments through Mastercard or Visa might not work outside the card issuer's country.

On hardware that supports contactless payments, customers might also present any supported card brand that they've loaded on a digital wallet such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay.
