Location Services

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to use the POS card reader with location services disabled on the phone? I'm not sure why they ask for it to be turned on. Thanks

Hi @Squ4re, welcome to the Seller Community. 

 

Apologies for the delayed response. 

 

The geo-location, or GPS, on your mobile device must be turned on at all times when using Square. Square needs to know where transactions take place to reduce the risks associated with those transactions and to minimize payment disputes.

 

I hope this helps.
