Hi @Oshun2U2 - Welcome to The Seller Community, it's always nice to see a new face 😊

Great Question.

From the navigation bar at the bottom of your screen, tap More > Settings > Checkout > Payment Types.
Toggle on Manual Credit Card Entry.
Ring up a transaction by adding items or entering custom amounts using the keypad.
Tap Charge to process the payment.

I hope this helps.

As always, feel free to stop by The Community with question, concerns and even feature requests. We are more than happy to assist. ✨

The request was to reset the manual card reading after it had been disabled, not disable it.

Tap and Hold the 6 dots next to the manual card entry in the disabled payment section, then while holding it you can slide it over to the accepted payments section
