how to connect reader to a terminal so I don't have to touch client's card ?

Usernew — Sat, 06 Jun 2020 14:04:11 GMT

I installed a plexiglass barrier between client and me. Now I bought a contacless reader to put on the outside but it seems like the contactless reader is only for phone apps. Is there anyway to connect the reader to the terminal ?

Hey there, @Usernew -

Welcome to the Community!

You wouldn't be able to connect the Contactless + Chip Reader to the Terminal. The Terminal is a standalone device, so it isn't designed to be used with another.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Could I connect a Square reader to a Sqaure terminal? How would this be accomplished?

Could I connect the square reader to a square terminal? Enter the charge amount on the terminal and have it completed on the reader?
