Can't seem to create a Nickname for contactless readers as owner

dburcham3 — Tue, 03 May 2022 17:28:44 GMT

I have 5 different contactless readers and I am trying to use the nickname Contactless reader so it it easier for staff to recongize when trying to pair up at markets. I have tried to clear out the term "Contactless + Chip" and replace it with another name but it won't take.

Any suggestions?

Hey there @dburcham3

At this time it's not possible to rename our readers due to security. Something I've seen other Sellers do is actually labeling the readers or if you have a compatible device using our Reader Cases.

@dburcham3 ;

I have 4 wireless readers, When one connects I see which stand it is connected to by sending a signal from the Square Stand to that device to Identify it. Each reader has a 4 digit code, I took a sharpie and wrote that four digit identifier on the bottom of the reader.
