Switching from traditional swipe terminal to square

jocigars — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 18:24:46 GMT

Hi all,

I have elevan/costco.

They want to charge 400 for new terminal so I am looking at options.

Currently we use a regular cash register to enter and total the sale, then go over to terminal, swipe, enter amount and process.

what is easiet way to intergate square and still keep using cash register to enter sales before charging.

Thanks!

You could use Square in addition to an old-fashioned Cash Register, but in general Square POS is to replace that and gain you all the information that you can now get on sales and customers etc. I would highly recommend switching completely.

But yes, You can simply use Square to type in a custom amount to be charged to a credit card. The NFC/chip card Square terminal costs $49.
