# Set Up and Activate Your Dropp POS Terminal

> Activate your Dropp POS terminal, powered by Paystack hardware, and start taking orders.

The Dropp POS terminal runs on a Paystack MF960 Android terminal, alongside Paystack's own point-of-sale app. Dropp's app handles your orders and menu; card payments are handed off to Paystack's app to process, then control returns to Dropp once the payment completes.

<Info>
  Getting a terminal isn't self-serve — devices go through Paystack's own security review before they're set up for your business. [Contact the Dropp team](https://calendly.com/trydropp/30min) to start that process.

## First-Time Activation

## Accepting Payments

The Dropp terminal supports three payment methods at checkout:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Card" icon="credit-card">
    Selecting Card hands off to Paystack's app to process the transaction on their card reader. Once approved, you're returned to Dropp with the result.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Bank Transfer" icon="building-columns">
    Record a bank transfer payment directly in the Dropp app.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Cash" icon="money-bill">
    Record a cash payment directly in the Dropp app.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Reports

Your terminal's sales and order history are available in the Dropp app under Reports, pulled from the same dashboard data as your other Dropp surfaces.

<Note>
  Card settlement (when funds move to your bank account) is handled by Paystack, not the Dropp app — check Paystack's own dashboard or support for payout status.
