Hi @CharityHope! Thanks for posting. 😃

It sounds like you'd like to set up another reader on a new device for your organization. Is that right? If so, follow these steps:

On the new device, download the Square Point of Sale app
Log into your account on the new device using the same email address and password
Plug the Square Magstripe reader into your device. (Or connect the Contactless Reader via bluetooth.)

Square Readers can be ordered through our website, but they won't arrive by tomorrow. If you don't have an extra one, they can be picked up from Staples, Best Buy, and other retail locations. (Click that link to find a store near you!) Keep in mind though your first magstripe reader is free, additional magstripe readers cost $10.

I hope that helps you out! If I didn't get your question quite right, feel free to follow up with additional details.

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I have 3 readers that I want to activate to my account but currently only one device. I am going to ask everyone to bring their own laptops tomorrow and pre download the square ap. Will that work and can these squares be used on any device once activated??? Really appreciate your time.

Sure thing! We're happy to help, and I'm really excited for your event tomorrow! You'll have to let me know how it goes.

A couple of things to clarify:

1) Here's a list of the supported devices you can use with a Square reader: https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/3887-devices-compatible-with-the-square-magstripe-and-chip-card-readers

2) The readers themselves do not need to be activated, and they can be used on any device. The key is making sure the Square Register app downloaded on the device, and you've logged into the account. You cannot accept a payment unless you are logged into the app.

Hope that all makes sense, and please feel free to keep asking questions if you have them! Also - if you're going to be in an area with spotty cell phone reception, you may want to enable Offline Mode as a backup. Here's directions on how to do that: https://squareup.com/help/ca/en/article/5095-process-payments-with-offline-mode

Good luck!!

My employees are trying to log into the App on their phones using the email address I have set up in Register (mobile location) for them and using their device codes that were sent to them, but Square won't recognize their email address. If they log in with Create Account, it thinks they want to open an new Register account. We're stuck in a vicious circle.

Great questions! 👍

You can definitely do this. You will just need to download the Square Point of Sale app onto each mobile device, and sign in using the same Square account (username and password). The readers don't actually have any account information tied to them - the app is the brains of the operation.

Hope this helps!

I have several road salesmen across the state. Can I run multiple card readers on the same account, or do I have to set up an account for each salesman?

Readers are not attached to the account, so more than one person can open the app, sign in & process sales simultaneously 🙂

Can two square readers both be used on the same account?

@blitz123, that's right: you can use more than one Square Reader with the same Square account. We've been able to connect three Readers to three different devices (tablet and phones) and have them all accept cards at the same time.

To accomplish this, you just need to have the Square Register app on all your devices and then log them all into the same Square account.

@noellejean327 - You can definitely use the same reader. Our readers aren't tied to any single account, they're universal. You'll just want to make sure that you're signed into the right account when you take your payments. 😀

Can multiple devices & multiple Square Readers work with a single Square account?

I don't have an account yet. What I'm wondering is can I and my business partner each use our own phones with separate readers for the same account?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Can 2 separate phones with 2 card swipers work with 1 account?

The answer is YES. After you have your account set up with Square you must log in to your account. You can log in with your phone, your business partners phone, an iPad etc. As long as you are logged in you are ready to go! Hope this helps.

How do I get the APP on my cell phone. I signed up yesterday for a new account. I got a new phone I-6 as well and when they transferred my info to the new phone they took the Square off of my apps.

Help me with this. Myrtle Pilgreen
