Is sign and tip on printed receipt available with Square Stand 2 hardware?

I like to have my customer's sign and tip on the printed receipt. Since Square Stand 2 doesn't have a swipe option, does it still allow for sign and tip on printed receipt option? I need to know this before I upgrade my existing Square hardware.

Hi @danangrest. First, allow me to correct a misperception in your post. Stand 2 does have a swipe option, albeit a rather hidden one. There is an audio port in the bottom right corner of the stand where you can plug in a swipe reader. See photo of my setup. If you are using Square POS in your Stand 2, there is still a setting to enable the “Sign on printed receipt” option.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I see, so it's not built in like the old stand but you can add it with the external reader. My question then is, if I don't add in the swipe reader, can I still enable "sign and tip on printed receipt" with the newer stand? I noticed you just said "sign on printed receipt" and not mentioned the ability to tip on paper receipt as well. On the old stand, I seem to remember that option gets removed once you add a chip reader, unless I'm mistaken on that too.

All of that is still available. It is not a function of the stand, but rather of the POS. The stand is just a bunch of readers and a hub for the POS. The POS functionality is exactly the same, in or out of a stand. See the circle note on Square POS for the printed receipt/signature setting.

Thanks for the clarification!
