The Verifone e285 Plus terminal is quick and easy to set up with Lightspeed Payments. When you receive the terminal from Lightspeed, it is already configured for your account, so all you need to do is plug in and pair the terminal. 

It is important that you only use the terminal supplied to you by Lightspeed, as any terminal obtained from a third party may not be correctly configured for your account and could present a security risk.

Plugging in the terminal

In your box, you should find:

• e285p payment terminal
• USB to USB-C charging cable

Before you can pair your e285p terminal with your Lightspeed account, you'll need to make sure it is charged and updated. 

To do so:

1. Plug the USB charging cable into the terminal and a power source. You can continue with the setup while the battery charges, but be sure to charge the terminal for at least 4 hours when charging for the first time.
2. If the terminal does not power on automatically when plugged in, hold the green circle button until the display turns on.

The display may turn on and off several times while powering on and the terminal may make a maintenance call to update its software. The update process can take 10-20 minutes.

To power the terminal off, press and hold the red X button until the display turns off.

Once the terminal has finished booting, you need to pair it with your account. The pairing process differs depending on the firmware your terminal is running. You can identify the firmware of your terminal by the logo that appears when the terminal powers on. Please select your terminal's firmware to continue:

Pairing the terminal with Lightspeed PaymentsOnce the terminal has finished booting, you'll need to pair it with your account. The pairing process requires information that can be found on the terminal's device info page. You can access this page by pressing 5, then the green circle key on the terminal's number pad. Make note of the following:

  - The model
  - The serial number
  - The IP address

  Once you have this information, you can begin the pairing process. To do so:

  1. In the back office, navigate to Payments > Payment terminals.
  2. Click Add terminal.
  3.  Enter the terminal name to identify this terminal in your account.

For example, choose a name that indicates where it is located, such as "Take-out counter."
  4.  Enter the terminal's IP address on your network. 
  5.  Enter the terminal ID. The terminal ID consists of the model and the serial number in the following format: e285p-#########, where the number symbols represent the terminal's serial number. For example, if your terminal's serial number is 123-456-789, your terminal ID would be e285p-123456789.
