The P8 is BoosterHub's most versatile card reader and the best choice for high-volume selling — think busy concession stands or spirit wear tables.

Accepts tap to pay, chip insert, magnetic swipe, and Apple Pay/Google Pay

Can be used as a standalone device with just the BoosterHub app on a phone — the only terminal with this capability

Also works with the Cashier Screen, which can run on a phone, iPad, tablet, or computer

Compatible with both the web version and app version of BoosterHub

Your location setup determines which mode works best — contact support if you're unsure

Volume discount: Buy four P8s, get the fifth free

Purchase directly in BoosterHub: Settings › BoosterHub Settings › Purchase Credit Card Terminal

The P12 is a solid, more affordable tap-to-pay option, but it does require the Cashier Screen setup.

Accepts tap to pay, chip insert, and Apple Pay/Google Pay

Must be paired with the Cashier Screen — cannot run standalone

Cashier Screen can run on a phone, iPad, tablet, or computer

Compatible with both the web version and app version of BoosterHub

Volume discount: Buy four P12s, get the fifth free

Purchase in the same location as the P8: Settings › BoosterHub Settings › Purchase Credit Card Terminal

If you just need a simple, low-cost option for occasional use, a standard magnetic stripe swipe reader can work.

Plugs into your phone, tablet, or iPad via the headphone jack or Lightning/USB-C port

Must be used with the BoosterHub app — not compatible with the web version

Works with the Cashier Screen on a phone or tablet

Not compatible with computers

Compatible swipe devices are available on Amazon — BoosterHub does not currently sell these

Note: Depending on your phone or tablet, you may need a USB-C or Lightning adapter

You can publish a QR code that lets customers complete an online checkout on their own device — no card reader needed. This is separate from the BoosterHub app and web version.

Customers scan the QR code and pay directly from their own phone

Great for lower-traffic situations or when volunteers don't want to handle a device

No additional hardware or cost

Note: QR code checkout is its own payment flow — it does not run through the BoosterHub app or web Cashier Screen
