Can you use Square stand to enter orders and use the terminal to accept payments that requires a pin be entered, so you don’t have to use the stand for pin entry? In my food truck it’s impossible to move the stand to the window to let the costumer enter a pin, so i only do tap at present.
...! think you can enter the order directly from the new hand held terminal from what I understood from what he said...which is pretty awesome. That's why he said he is considering eliminating the iPad stands from all his restaurants. That's what I'm going to do when I open up soon..
@@mjmobile7 I did buy the terminal to see if it would work for me, it didn’t, so I returned it for refund. Yes you can do orders from it but not practical in a food truck to give the terminal to outside costumers as they could drop it or most of the time entering wrong pin and also get it full of germs that would come in to the truck. I ended up getting another IPad to run in parallel with square stand to show the orders and cost through the service window, and only did tap no debit with pin entry. Terminal would be great for sit down restaurants imo.
Hopefully please train your employees on passing the terminal to the customer for Apple Pay. So many places I go to don’t properly do it and just lie and say “we don’t take that here” because they don’t know how!
Dow this sync with the squares iPad pos. I ask as we now need to reduce contact between our staff and customers. So when they want to insert pin we don’t have hand over iPad in our coffee shop
I'm not sure. The system has been a bit more stable. It's been a great secondary POS system for conventions. Wouldn't work in our stores do to the limited interface. Very similar to iPhone or Android.
Looks beautiful, and is almost perfect for my mobile business. A shame it can't use a SIM card. Yes, I could set up a mobile hotspot on my phone, or I could take offline payments. But it would be beautiful if I could use it anywhere, without my phone without having to risk off-line transactions that could decline later. Also looks like it doesn't have Bluetooth. I don't know why I need BT on this, but like I think it would be nice lol. Also sucks it doesn't have Square Appointments built in, seems like that would be a natural thing. I know this is a POS system for processing payments, but if I could charge a client and then schedule their next detail all from the one device, that would be much more seamless. The fact it has a printer + the price + you can do 12 $37 payments, yeah I'm going to get one for sure. Question though, when it comes time for the customer to sign, if you turn it sideways does the screen rotate into landscape mode like on the mobile app?
What a monster you are “LITERALLY” the “RECEIPT PAPER ROOL” I swear to god if that was me I would be so careful because where I live I cannot buy a receipt paper roll
Shame... He doesn't even check 1st how to remove the packaging properly... He keeps on saying nice job in making the packaging.. But he doesn't even know how to open it....
If he wanted to reduce cost he would get better electronics instead of the shitty apple train. I'm not surprised if he had the apple credit card in his draw 😂
@@SourStrawberrys there is a setting that you can turn offline mode on, it will still take the cards information, once you get to internet all of the transactions will go through.
@@liviamettlerhair6627 Yeah, some times Square app for phone goes offline (with bad phone connection) for the headphone jack swiper and it allows you to ring you when back online but you're taking a chance of it not going through for some reason when back online. Then you will have an entire day worth of orders that might not got through and get approved and you will have not way to contact those customer. That is why we don't like to even swipe cards when we lose connection.
I was going to go with a bank for my pos now you sold me on this for my beauty business..thank you for your review very informative
Could someone pay cash and owner still could punch in payment amount & print a receipt for him/her?
Yes, absolutely. You can also configure a cash drawer OR just use a cashbox. That's what we do.
@@wileysprocket In this case would the higher fee apply? (2.5% vs 1.75%0
Will it connect via Wi-Fi to a wireless printer? And can you print out past transactions?

Did you ever get an answer to this by chance? I'm wondering the same for our mobile food business.

Thanks for all the explanation. You help me decide in which terminal buy to my food business. Thanks. Good information
Can you connect the terminal to a phones hot spot
Yes
Yess
Yaa
How do you connect a bar code scanner to it without having to use the hub which requires electricity?
Hopefully please train your employees on passing the terminal to the customer for Apple Pay. So many places I go to don’t properly do it and just lie and say “we don’t take that here” because they don’t know how!
Just tell them you'll pay with (contactless) card
Did they lie if they didn’t know ?
Does this work with the bluetooth on your phone?
My square up machine comes up with squareup logo only. It wouldn't boot. Please what do I do?
Does it need to be plugged in to use the cash drawer and Barcode scanner? If so, kind of a bummer as it’s mobility decreases with plugins.
They actually did hire somebody from Apple. The person who’s in charge of square is an ex Apple employee. 🙌
how do you get the business data into the square terminal
Can you show how to connect it to a cash drawer please
Looking forward to purchasing this item thanks for your review !
Talks about reducing costs. Uses up nearly a foot of receipt paper. 😝
Just turn off the printer in Settings and you can just do digital receipts only
Haha. I saw that too, but I bet he can afford it.
do you need the hub for Square terminal? or can it be used just with wifi on the terminal alone ?
You can use it on just WiFi. If you don't have any other peripherals, you don't need the hub.
Dow this sync with the squares iPad pos. I ask as we now need to reduce contact between our staff and customers. So when they want to insert pin we don’t have hand over iPad in our coffee shop
What if they pay with cash?
How do I use this device without WiFi?
Can I use this for my mobile business?
Yes absolutely! We use it for ours.
Thank you!
Can we use this anywhere or in other country?
Will this device be made available in Australia. it only on the USA Website. I would love this as it ALL IN ONE
I'm not sure. The system has been a bit more stable. It's been a great secondary POS system for conventions. Wouldn't work in our stores do to the limited interface. Very similar to iPhone or Android.
Its in aus now, were looking at getting one
looking forward to your next test
"I'm not going to because im pretty smart" 🤣
Dont forget to update these units when they are available
Needs a major update.
Where you can manage all your Apps on this device also where it doesn’t kill the battery by staying on so much.
Excellent review and info.
good video👍🏻 thanks for the review
Is it compatible with any cash drawers?
Not all cash drawers. Visit Squareup.com for compatible versions.
@@wileysprocket Thanks, the hub would work with a RJ11/12 cash drawer?
Thank you 😊
I'm still waiting for the Terminal to hit the Canadian market. Looking forward to using it for merchandise sales at conventions.

Mine came in the mail today. Canada.

It does
