Both the BBPOS WisePOS E and the Stripe Reader S710 are full-featured card readers that connect to your Booksy Biz app and support tap, swipe, and dip payments plus on-screen tipping.
The main differences:
- Availability: the S710 is the current reader offered when you order a Booksy Card Reader. The WisePOS E is no longer available to purchase, but if you already have one, it's fully supported and you don't need to replace it.
- Connectivity: both connect via WiFi or Ethernet (with the optional dock). The S710 additionally supports a 4G or cellular connection using a built-in SIM, useful if you don't have a reliable WiFi network where you check out clients. 4G isn't enabled by default and costs extra. Contact Support via Chat or info.us@booksy.com to add it.
- Setup and admin PIN: setup steps are the same for both devices.
If you're deciding what to order, the S710 is the current standard and the one our Support team can source parts and accessories for going forward.
