This listing is compiled from public sources and may contain errors or be out of date. Not publicly documented means support is not documented either way, not that the hardware cannot do it. Verify support with your hardware or payment provider before purchasing. Every Stell pass can also carry a QR code or barcode, so [identification](/platform/nfc-identification) works on the scanners you already own.
