Activating your payment terminal
Once your terminal has been delivered, you'll need to activate it before you can start accepting in-person payments.
Before you begin
Inspect your terminal before use. Check for any signs of tampering or missing components. If your terminal includes a built-in printer, ensure the paper roll is correctly inserted with the paper end feeding out of the device.
You can find your passcode in the box your terminal was delivered in, as well as on the Point-of-Sale page in your Mollie Dashboard.

We recommend making a test payment to confirm everything is working correctly.
