Mirroring iPads. Once screen for customer and one for me.

[tobyandrosie]

I've been trying to find a solution for our Toby and Rosie stall at the markets to display or mirror my iPad screen using the square app so I can process payments yet display whats happening to the customer and they can sign or input their PIN number into the iPad facing them. 

Is something like possible without investing in proper POS equipment?

Thank you in advance.

Hey @tobyandrosie,

Thanks for reaching out!

At the moment unfortunately there's no way to share this info across multiple screens. We are looking at a couple of solutions for this in the future, though it won't be mirroring the screen on another device.

1. We're hoping to build functionality to allow Square Terminal to integrate with Square POS on another device, so you could use the Terminal as a buyer facing screen to allow for the customer to see transaction details and enter their PIN on Terminal while you're operating the POS on your tablet or other mobile device. This has been a common request from Terminal users.

2. We're aiming to eventually release Square Register in Australia, which comes with its own integrated second screen. Currently Register is only available in the USA.

Perfect Seamus. That Square register looks like exactly what I was hoping to do. Nice to know there's a solution on the way and that why I really love using square!

Thanks so much for the answer man. Keep up the great work!
