Square POS Api vs Square Terminal

Since the Square Terminal can now be use as a " customer display " while using the Square point on sale APP on iPad ( for exemple on a Square Stand ) I was thinking I could also use the POS API to let the client pay via the Square Terminal, but currently the Square POS App just let me use the stand or pay cash when I use the POS API ...

 

As POS API reference ( https://developer.squareup.com/docs/pos-api/web-technical-reference ) 

 

I guest I need to change the " supported_tender_types " to also allow the transaction to be paid via the Square Terminal ?

 

Is it plan to add a new tender type for this functionality ?

 

Or should simply " CREDIT_CARD " should allow us to have the bouton to send the transaction to the terminal ?

Since it's related to the API, also posted the question in the developper forum

@Square any news on this that more seem like a UI bug of the IOS Square POS app ?

 

The Square POS App UI can just be changed to show " Square Terminal " when they receive the call with supported_tender_types = CREDIT_CARD

 

Like they show the " Square Terminal " option as payment method if I do a transaction directly in the App.

 

I don’t think any change have to be make to the API, it’s just the Square POS ( specifically on Apple device in my case ) that don’t present the full list of payment method ( including the square terminal ) when called via the Point of Sale API !

 

It’s almost more like a UI bug in the square POS app on IOS
