3 Ways to Take Payments With Square, *Without* a Square Reader 🇺🇸

Waiting for your Square Hardware to arrive? Get set up and accept payments with Square in a snap (or tap) with the options below.

 

1. Tap to pay on iPhone 

Many people prefer to use contactless payments - it’s fast, it’s secure and you can pay right from your own mobile device. Sellers in the US can now use Tap to Pay on iPhone. Download the Square app to your device and accept Apple Pay - no hardware needed

 

2. Offer touch-free payments with Square Payment Links

Send your customers a payment link by email text or on social media, right from your Point of Sale. When your customer clicks the link they’ll be able to complete the payment on their phone. Get started with payment links.

 

3. Square Invoices

Send your customer an invoice that they can pay from their own device or browse. Your customers can pay an invoice with a card, or use Apple or Google Pay to pay you even faster. Learn more about Square Invoices.

Tap to pay on iPhone is magical. I am hoping it comes to Square for Retail soon.

Love these options! Also, I purchased the Square insert from Amazon under prime and sometimes it'll get to me as quick as overnight! Last case scenario, I ask a fellow business owner who works in beauty to borrow theirs for a day. 

 

I offer this to other businesses as well when they are in a pinch!

Most of our customers now pay with Apple Pay and use tap to pay without the reader. Fantastic!
