RideDesk
Card terminal

The counter payment, wired to the rental

Pair a Stripe smart reader (WisePOS E or S700) from your settings and charge a rental at the counter — the payment lands on the rental record, not in a separate card-machine ledger someone reconciles by hand.

Deposits are the real feature: a hold reserves the amount on the customer’s card without taking it — released at a clean return, captured in part or full for damage, with the card network’s extended authorisation window.

  • Server-driven readers

    The panel drives the reader: send the amount, the customer taps, the record settles. Pairing is a registration code in settings — no cabling, no separate terminal account.

  • Deposits held, not taken

    A security deposit is authorised, not charged — no refund delay for honest customers, and the hold deadline is read live from the card network rather than promised optimistically.

  • Deposits by link, too

    No hardware? Arm a deposit hold and the customer authorises it on their own phone — Apple Pay, Google Pay or card — through the same hosted pay page.

  • Your Stripe, your rates

    Everything runs on your own Stripe account at your negotiated rates. RideDesk never sits in the money flow.

Questions operators ask

Which readers work?

Stripe’s smart readers — WisePOS E and the S700. SumUp users can also drive a SumUp Solo for counter payments through the payments settings.

How long can a deposit hold last?

Card-present holds run with extended authorisation — typically up to around 30 days depending on the card network. RideDesk reads the actual deadline from the payment and shows you that date, rather than promising a number the network did not.

Which plans include the terminal?

Enterprise, alongside the rentals module it serves.
