Thanks for writing in, welcome to our Community 👋

Yes, this is possible via the Connected Terminal, allowing you to pair your Square Terminal to a tablet. To get started:

1. Open the POS app on your device, tap Menu > Settings > Hardware > Square Terminal.

2. Choose Connect Square Terminal.

3. Type in a nickname and location to associate with your Terminal, then tap Continue.

4. Tap Sign in.

5. Next, the Square POS app will generate a device code. Enter this code on your Square Terminal to complete pairing. Next, tap Sign In.

6. You’ll receive a confirmation in-app once you’ve successfully connected your Square Terminal to your device – Square Terminal will display “Powered by Square”.

7. Tap Done to start taking payments.
