Square Reader not allowing for Interac tap payments

In my Square app, I can only see options for cash, manual card entry, etc.

How do I allow for my reader to accept Interac tap payments?

Hi there, @khoeplantbased 👋 Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Seller Community! We are happy to have you join us.

If your reader is attached to your device, you should be able to tap your Interac payment without physically selecting a payment method. This is a common point of confusion, and we recommend running a test payment to see it in action. Simply walk through the checkout process and tap your payment once Charge is selected.

I hope that helps! Feel free to shoot me a response if you have any additional questions!

Thank you Joe for getting back to me! Just to confirm, once I hit "Charge," and the single green light is on my Square reader, it can accept Interac payment?

Thank you!
