How to set up your terminal

Last updated: October 14, 2026

Your Stripe S700 terminal arrives preconfigured. Follow these steps to attach the dock, connect power, and connect the terminal to your clinic’s Wi-Fi.

Attach the terminal to the dock and connect power

  1. Place the terminal securely in the dock with the screen easy to see.

  2. Plug the USB-C end of the power cable into the port on the left edge of the terminal.

  3. Connect the other end of the cable to the power adapter, if it is not already connected.

  4. Check that the terminal turns on or shows a battery or charging icon within a few seconds.

Turn on the terminal

If the screen does not turn on automatically, press and hold the power button on the right edge of the terminal for about three seconds. Release it when the screen lights up and the startup screen appears.

After startup, the terminal should display your clinic’s branded splash screen when idle.

Connect to clinic Wi-Fi

  1. On the Wi-Fi setup screen, select your clinic’s approved network.

  2. Enter the Wi-Fi password if prompted.

  3. Confirm that the Wi-Fi icon appears at the top of the screen.

If you are not sure which network to use, check with your clinic manager or IT lead.

If you need help

  • If anything is missing or damaged, do not continue setup. Contact Solv through Live Chat.

  • Keep the terminal plugged in whenever possible and within easy reach of staff.
