Important - Chrome Updates Affecting POS Hello A recent Chrome update is having an effect on POS devies. Starting in Chrome version 142, Chrome now prompts users for permission to access devices on the local network. Chrome 142 started rollout on October 28, and will roll out to all Chrome users over the next two weeks. Stripe Terminal's JS SDK, which is used by HOPS POS for communication with Stripe card machines through the local network, requires this permission to be granted. This means that, when prompted, the user needs to ALLOW this access; if a user blocks this access, the POS will be unable to connect to the card reader. In general, the permission is only required to be granted once. An example of the permission prompt is shown on Chrome's blog post here: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/local-network-access Simulating this issue before Chrome 142: If you have not yet upgraded to Chrome 142, IT managers can use Chrome 141 and change the chrome://flags/#local-network-access-check flag to "Enabled" to test this new requirement. This new requirement was not expected by us, and it was not expected by Stripe either. HOPS first discovered this at the first railway site affected on Thursday morning. Stripe has sent notification to all its customers today (you may have received the same information as above from Stripe). Thank you Danny Scroggins
