Square terminal and multiple devices

If I have one square terminal, can I connect it to my phone and my ipad simultaneously and use whichever at any time?

@ShopMoonrise You want to use your phone or iPad in addition to the terminal? I want to make sure I am understanding the question correctly!

Hi @ShopMoonrise,

Good question! And thanks for jumping in here to offer a hand, @Lovewell! 🙏

At the moment, you can connect one point of sale device to your Square Terminal at a time. If you wanted to switch between two devices, you would need to disconnect from the first device before connecting to the second.
