# Pair Terminal

> Connect your SumUp Solo terminal with the POSBridge app.

<Tip>
  Prerequisite: **Cloud API** is active on the terminal and shows a pairing code. Enter the pairing code from SumUp **in the app**.
</Tip>

*About 2–3 minutes*

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Terminals page">
    In the POSBridge app (Shopify Admin) go to the **Terminals** page in the navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pair new reader">
    Click the **Pair new reader** button (top right).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the pairing code from SumUp">
    Enter the **pairing code from SumUp** **in the app**. Case does not matter.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter name">
    Give the terminal a descriptive name, e.g. *Main Register*, *Register 1 Berlin* or *Counter Storage*. The name is used in all reports.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pair">
    Click **Pair**. POSBridge sends the code to the SumUp API. The terminal confirms the connection and the pairing screen disappears.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign terminal to location">

  Terminal successfully paired! Next step: assign the terminal to a location and then add the POS Extension to the Smart Grid.
