Allow browser pop-up on Terminal for "captive portal networks"

[kylea]

Anyone who uses the square terminal as a portable POS system may have run into this issue.

They buy a square terminal because it's small, portable, and easy to use. Then they try to use it at a location that requires login details or just a simple acknowledgement to T&Cs in a browser.

The Square terminal says it's connected. Despite saying connected, it is not connected to the internet.

This would be such a simple fix which shouldn't take more than 30 - 50 mins on the devs side. Please enable it.

Thanks for your feedback! I understand how frustrating it can be when trying to connect to networks that require additional login steps, such as accepting T&Cs or entering credentials in a browser. (been there, done that) Your suggestion to enable this functionality on Square Terminal is a great one, and I’ll be sure to share it with our product team for consideration.

In the meantime, some sellers have found success using a mobile hotspot or pre-approved guest networks as a workaround.
