After launching the app, you will receive a prompt to connect to your Miura device. To establish the connection, ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and that the Miura device is fully charged and in close proximity to your phone. Once you've done this, navigate to the Bluetooth settings on both your smartphone and the Miura device, then click the Bluetooth button located at the top. This will cause the blue light on the device to flash rapidly. On your smartphone, you should be able to see the Miura device in the list of available Bluetooth devices. Select it to connect, but be sure to verify that you're connecting to the correct device. Once you're successfully connected, you will be redirected to the terminal page, where you can begin processing payments.
You only need to go through this process once. The app will automatically connect to the Miura device next time you open it.
Taking payments
Please enter the amount you wish to charge in the designated amount field. In the reference field, you can add a simple reference of up to 15 characters consisting of only letters and numbers. Please note that you cannot use the same reference for the same phone number again. If you prefer, you can leave this field blank.
Once you have ensured that the amount and reference are correct, click on the Proceed button. A pop-up indicates that the payment is in progress, and the Miura device will prompt you to present the customer's card. The customer can either tap their card on the device screen, insert it into the device, and enter their PIN on the pin pad. Once the transaction has been successfully processed, you will be taken to the success page where you can enter an email address to send the transaction receipt to the customer.
