Can I hook up my square terminal to my tablet I used before?

The terminal I'd so small and I have a hard time seeing it. Can I hook it up to my tablet I ran square on before so I have a printer etc?

Thanks for your time Janna

Hi usedtoyours,

Interesting question for sure - you can connect the terminal wirelessly to a computer, then use Virtual Terminal from within your Square account. As for using your tablet, that may work too - sorry, have not tried this but, logically it should work unless there's something that Square's Virtual Terminal requires from a computer verses a tablet - for example type of tablet and operating system, etc. If you do give it a try, let folks know - others may have the same questions.

I'll have to get my Square terminals out of storage tomorrow and check (we're seasonal). I don't think that other Square devices see the Square Terminal printer as an option for Square receipts.
