Square terminal and a computer for POS

[emipaige]

Can you use the square terminal with a computer and barcode scanner to ring up transactions?

From what I am seeing in this article :7451-connect-square-terminal-with-virtual-terminal-for-in-person-payments 

I do not have a Terminal or know what the processing fees would be, but sounds like you can since the Virtual Terminal is Squares reference to the online dashboards way to accept credit card payments.  I use the Virtual Terminal sometimes for phone orders.

Yep! I do it all the time.  Just connect your computer to your terminal using a Device code.  You set that up under settings---> devices---> add a point of sale.  

From there use the Virtual Terminal on your computer and when it comes time for the customer to tap or swipe it will pop up on the Terminal.  I have it facing the customer on my desk since it will ask them if the amount is correct if they want to add a tip, etc.
