I signed up for Square and got to where I order the hardware but I keep getting an error response...try again. how do I get past this point?
Can you provide a screen shot of the screen you are getting?
You should go here to order Square Hardware right from Square:

There are different ways to pay for the Hardware I believe but its been over 3 years since I ordered my Hardware from Square.
