The title of this thread has been edited by a Square Moderator from the original : "Reader"

Looking for the best go to set up for on the go sales at Vendor Shows - Needs to be Blue Tooth capable and Android compatible. I am currently on the waitlist for a Square Reader for contactless and chip. Any other suggestions and was that the correct product?

Hey @DBP-AVON!

Either the Square reader or Square terminal shall do you proud, anywhere you go in your home county, you will be able to accept payments all day long with a simple device, the reader will need to be connected to a device with the Square app, the terminal has all the software directly integrated so you don't need anything else in order to accept payments from customers and clients!

Hope this can help, if it does, mark it as best answer to help others in the future!

Thank you!! Just to clarify before I pull the trigger on this purchase; if you do not mind. Purchasing the Square Terminal will connect to my Android S21 + because I have the app installed and it is Bluetooth compatible. However, do I need to purchase the Hub that is offered? It is not terribly more expensive I just don't understand the use of it and whether I need it in application. I will be remotely working with this more than stationary in office. Need it to be cordless. Truly appreciate you assistance!!!

The Square terminal should run on it's own, do you mean the reader's docking stand? that is just a stand it can charge on while you use it. You can connect the reader to the phone (Samsung S21+ is supported) and the terminal I believe runs as an all in one device so no extra connections needed and no hubs necessary! all you need for both of them is an internet connection : )

@ernie12345678 ;

Are you trying to remove sales tax from One sale or are you trying to remove Sales tax from ALL future sales?

If you are trying to remove Sales Tax from one sale, you can ring up the entire sale, then press on the Sales tax and slide it then a pop up should appear asking if you want to delete it. Then the Sales tax should say Turned Off.

If you want to delete it from future sales

You will need to log in to your Square Dashboard on a computer

and go here :https://squareup.com/dashboard/business/manual-taxes

Home- Account and Settings - Business information- Sales Taxes-

Then select the Tax you want to delete. The Screen should say at the top Edit Tax---- on the right side select Actions then press Delete and confirm.

I like the new Square stand a lot! It accommodates blue tooth, apple pay, swipe and chip reader. The only downside is you need to also invest in a iPad.
