Smart card readers & Stripe Terminal

GoAhead is building a verified Stripe Terminal integration for supported physical devices. An arbitrary third-party card machine is not automatically controlled through GoAhead.

Authorized owners or managers connect supported readers to a verified business and location, using time-limited pairing and server-side checks.

The server reconciles payment events with the right order or counter sale. Printing a receipt alone does not establish that settlement has been recorded.

Supported hardware, webhooks, payment recovery, duplicate prevention and refunds must be tested before real-money acceptance is declared fully ready.
