Hey @asitaaa - unfortunately there's no way to do that.

I'd love to see the iOS apps available on a Mac too as think that's as easy as flipping a switch for Square.

You have got the Virtual Terminal though - https://squareup.com/dashboard/pos/overview which should cover most of what you need for making a sale, but without the grid layout.

yeah, I sure don't know why so many developers don't allow the iPhone apps to run on macs. It was great in the first 6 months of M1 as you could load any iPhone app, but then Apple introduced that toggle to allow or not allow.

How do I simulate the layout of POS without physically having the POS near me? I want to set the layout on my PC and then push it thru' to POS.
