Add a Scanner
Add a scanner
1. Open Locations from the sidebar and open the shop where the device will sit.
2. Scroll to the Scanners section (or use the Add scanner card under *Growing? Add the right thing*) and click Add a scanner.
3. Give it a Scanner name so you can tell your devices apart in Activity (e.g. "Front counter", "Till 2").
4. Under Which cards can this scanner accept?, choose All cards (recommended) or Only certain cards if the device is for one program.
5. (Optional) Set a wait between stamps, a max points-per-hour cap, or add labels.
6. Click Create login.
Get the key onto the device
1. The Add a scanner window opens with a QR code and the device's key. On the Passtastic Scanner app, scan the QR code to sign the device in — or click Copy and enter the key by hand.
2. Store the key safely — anyone with it can use your scanner.
Tip: You can reveal the key again later with Show key on the device in the Scanners section.
Scanners are shared across your whole business. If you're beyond the number your plan includes, a calm confirmation shows the price before you add — see Understanding plan limits.
