Square Terminal Questions

[Cindyshomespun]

I'm considering upgrading from a reader to the Terminal.  Does anyone know if this requires Wifi to work? I do a show where there's no wifi or even data access and my reader never works, so this is why I'm thinking of upgrading for next year. thanks!

I use the terminal.  Have had it for about a year.  Love it.  Easy and hand held.  It does require WiFi.  Which makes it really awesome.  I can check folks out curbside right now without a hitch.  Pretty sure there's no other way to use it.  Only requires the power cord.  Hope that helps.

Hello, does anyone know how to raise the withdrawal and daily spending limits on it? 

I ready someone had the mobile termsinal.  They said something to the effect that you need WiFi. That’s  not true. For 20 a month you can get cellular data plan and it works everywhere. Thank you.

Hi @ExecutiveK9 - thanks for reaching out here on the Community!

I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Are you asking how to be enabled to take larger transactions on the Square Terminal? 

I will keep an eye out for your response!

Yes, you will need to connect to wifi or a hotspot on your phone.  We have 4 terminals and like them but it is the same interface as your phone so it is limiting as it doesn't have the grid like an iPad layout.  So I guess I would say if you are using a phone now and it works there isn't a great reason to upgrade unless you want a printer which is built in to the terminal and works great.

Thank you for your feedback - if I can't get my phone to work up at that show, there's no point in paying extra $$ for a terminal right now.  I do appreciate your honesty!
