The Tabology Reader

A Tabology Reader is a an iPhone-based all-in-one payment and scanning device that connects to your Tabology EPOS. A Tabology Reader can be used for: 

• Taking payments via Tap to Pay (requires a connected Zettle by PayPal account)
• Scanning member QR codes
• Scanning member RFID cards
• Taking photos of new members
• Scanning barcodes

Using a Tabology Reader to scan member QR codes, or RFID cards, can result in a quicker and smoother process than using the iPads built in camera, especially if the Tabology Reader is also used to take the payment by tapping the customer's credit card against the device, rather than needing a separate card reader.

The built in photo capture feature means photos can easily be captured for all new members, making it easier to verify members on subsequent visits and prevent card sharing.

If you use Zettle by PayPal as your processor, you can use a Tabology Reader instead of a separate card reader for processing payments. See Setting up Tabology Readers to take payments.

If you don't use Zettle by PayPal as your processor, or you don't want to take payments on a Tabology Reader, but you would like to use use a Tabology Reader for its scanning capabilities, go straight to Adding Tabology Readers.
