Connect 2 iPads to 1 square terminal

esfctreasurer — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 07:59:37 GMT

I am hoping to pair 2 iPads with 1 square terminal, so that sales can be entered in Square POS on either iPad but will connect for payment to the 1 Square terminal. I can easily pair the 1st iPad but am having trouble with the second. Is this possible, and many thanks in advance...

Welcome to the seller community, @esfctreasurer!

At this time, you can only connect one Point of Sale to the Square Terminal at a time. If you're looking for a way to accept payments with your second iPad, you could consider the Square Reader, for example.

Thanks for writing in, @janetosredecki 👋 Welcome to the Seller Community!

Right now, you can only connect one iPad per Square Terminal. If you were looking to accept card payments with your second iPad, too, you could consider using a Square Reader. Feel free to let us know a bit more about your business and how you're hoping to accept payments so we can point you in the right direction. I'll keep an eye out for your reply 🙂
