Can you setup an Android tablet to connect to a Square Terminal?

I would like to use an Android Tablet to enter the customer's order and have it show on the Square Terminal. So they can see their order and pay. Is this possible?

That's not how the Terminal is intended to function I'm afraid. I suppose you can enable open tickets on both devices.

Once a ticket is saved on the Android, it'll sync to your Terminal. Open the ticket on the Terminal to take payment.

Sounds like I am better off just using the Square Terminal alone then. Thanks for the tip.
