Can I print receipts and use a cash drawer with android tablet?

I'm on Amazon looking for a tablet, cash drawer, stand, and receipt printer. I only see compatible sets for Apple. Are they not available for Android?

Welcome to the Seller Community @BrianM!

Yes you can connect hardware to Android devices — however the Square Stand is only compatible with iPads. Instead, you could use another kind of 'stand' like the Heckler @Rest Universal Stand.

Also, as it sounds like you're shopping around I hope the following resources will help:

Hardware Compatibility by Device This Support Center article has a list of receipt printers and cash drawers that are compatible with Android devices (check the column to the right-hand side).
Device Compatibility website. You can use this site to make sure your Android tablet (or phone) is compatible with Square.
POS Kits section of the Square shop. You can view complete kits, including alternative stand for Android devices, and compatible cash drawers/receipt printers.

If you have any other questions let me know!
