Overview
This guide will take you through the steps of connecting the Blink app to a Miura device (done via Bluetooth) and using its transaction history.
The Miura device allows you to accept both contactless and non-contactless card payments. The app is available on Android and iOS.
Set-Up
If you want to use the Blink app, please contact the Blink Support team, who will add the mobile app integration to your account and send you a Miura device.
How To Use
Connecting your phone to the Miura device
Download the Blink app from the Apple store or Google Play store. Once downloaded, open the app and log in with your Blink account credentials.

There is an option to enable biometrics (fingerprint check or facial recognition) for enhanced security. 👍 |
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.

To view 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.
