How to Set Up the Contactless & QR Code Scanner
The Facilipay Contactless & QR Code Scanner allows staff to scan customer QR codes directly from a Clover device. This guide walks through how to connect, configure, and test the scanner.
Before You Begin
- You must have the Facilipay USB scanner ready.
- Your Clover device must be powered on and accessible.
Step-by-Step: Connect and Configure
Connect the Scanner to the Clover Device
Connect the USB scanner to your Clover device. Depending on your Clover model, the USB port will be located:- At the bottom of the printer, or
- In the connection hub attached to the device
Once connected, the scanner should automatically power on.
Important — Clover Station V1: If using a Clover Station V1, a prompt will appear when the scanner is connected. Select "This is not a printer". This ensures the device functions correctly and prevents the on-screen keyboard from being disabled.
Test the Scanner
Open one of the Facilipay apps on the Clover device. Tap QR Scan and scan a QR code from:- A physical gift card
- The Facilipay mobile app
- An Apple Watch
The Clover device should automatically recognise the scan and retrieve the associated customer account.
Troubleshooting
If the scanner does not register the QR code:
- Disconnect the USB cable.
- Reconnect the scanner to the Clover device.
If the issue persists, reset the scanner by scanning the configuration QR codes in the following order:
- Enter/End
- Set Suffix
- Set All
- Enter
- Enter/End
Scan each code in sequence to complete the reset.
Tips & Best Practices
Keep the cable secure: A loose USB cable is the most common cause of scanner issues — ensure it's firmly connected.
Position for ergonomics: Place the scanner within easy reach for staff so it can be used naturally during transactions.
