Re: Audio capabilities with Square stand

DandA_BV · ‎06-11-2023

We are considering purchasing a Square Stand for our iPad that will run Square Retail. We need to use iPad the audio jack for our amplifier. Is the audio jack in the Square Stand fully functional or does it only work for the mag stripe reader?

Hi @DandA_BV. According to Square’s answer to another seller here, It seems it would work fine unless you use a splitter and plug in the magstripe reader. Then the audio would drop out.

@DandA_BV ;

You could also look at getting a Bluetooth to Rca adapter. Play the music and send it to the Bluetooth receiver that then connects to your stereo.

I have used a Bluetooth speaker with my Square Stand and have had no issues with it disconnecting like you would have if you needed the headphone port.

Hey Seller Community,

The audio jack on the Square Stand for iPad is fully functional and can be used for your amplifier, not just for the mag stripe reader. This means you can easily integrate your audio setup with your point-of-sale system, ensuring seamless operation for both retail transactions and your audio needs. For enhanced audio experiences, consider using Spotify APK, which offers a vast library of music that can help create a pleasant atmosphere in your store.

Best of Luck!!
