Best Square POS for use with an iPad Pro 11”

I am just in the start up stage and was wondering what others have found is the best POS to use with a iPad Pro 11”. Clearly the stand is not compatible and I do not wish to buy a new iPad. Has anyone found the Square Terminal or the Square Reader better? or does anyone use either of these with an iPad Pro?

As a new start up any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hey @FranklinK8,

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the community!

I'm hoping some other Square Sellers can chip in with accounts of their own experiences, but what will work best usually comes down to what you're looking for as a business and what best fit into your setup. Were you looking at a counter-top POS with a cash drawer, receipt printer etc?

Let me know a little more about your situation and I'll do my best to help 🙂

For a counter top solution with larger iPads I have seen sellers use 3rd party stands such as these. While they won't feature USB power and a hub like the Square Stand does, they're still perfectly usable and look pretty nice. A potential downside would be that you wouldn't be able to use a USB printer, but could still connect a wifi one. You'd also need additional power outlets to charge the iPad.
