Do you need wifi for square register? Does hot spot work?
Hi @Nursenovie - Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Square Seller Community👋 Happy to help you with this.
Square requires an active Internet connection to process payments. For the Square Register, this can be either a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. You can also process payments with Offline Mode if you find yourself in a situation where you're unable to connect to Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi is not available in your environment. Just be aware that offline payments are processed automatically when you reconnect your device to the internet and may be declined if not processed within 24 hours.
I hope this information is helpful but please do let me know if you have any additional questions.
