More than 1 card reader

[beauty5]

Hi

I have a beauty business and sometimes I have staff running the salon whilst I am on events.  I don't want a 2nd account and I only use the small card reader.  If I buy a 2nd reader can I have 1 for salon and 1 for mobile on the same account? when in the salon the dashboard/payments are taken on a tablet.  when mobile I will take them on my phone. I can disconnect the events card reader when I am in the salon?

Hi @beauty5, thanks for posting and welcome to the Seller Community 🙂.

You can buy a second Square Reader to take payments easily when offsite. You can then disconnect the Reader from your phone when you're not using it. 

While you don't need to open a second Square account, I recommend creating a second location. This will help you track and differentiate your sales on the Dashboard. You can find more information about managing multiple locations on our Support Centre.

The only limitation you should be aware of, is that you're not able to connect two Readers on the same device and use them simultaneously (for example, trying to connect your two Readers on your salon's tablet).

I hope this helps! Feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions.
