Is there a way to connect more than 3 devices?

We have the square Ipad stand, and have a reciept printer, a register, and a scanner hooked up. However, we don't have room to plug in the chip reader. Could I use a secondary USB hub to connect more devices? Thanks

We were in the same position and a USB hub did not work with Square, as it was an unrecognized device. There are a couple solutions that would work:

1. Use a Bluetooth scanner to free up one spot
2. Instead of connecting the crash drawer directly, connect it to the receipt printer via a cash drawer interface cable (assuming your hardware has the appropriate ports)

Thanks for the reply and the help! I will look around for a bluetooth scanner. Thank you!

Hello @ThePaintStore! I'll save you some time hopefully, currently the only compatible Bluetooth barcode scanner is the Socket Mobile 7CI Barcode Scanner. 

@samweber made some great suggestions. The only thing I would add, is you could connect the Contactless and Chip Card Reader to your iPad via Bluetooth as well!
