Is there an android interface option for the retail pos system. I only see ipad. We are android only.

Hi there, @Nosh 👋 Thanks for taking the time to post your question here on the Seller Community! We are happy to have you join us.

While we have recently updated our Square for Retail software to become compatible with the Square Register which is an Android-based device, full capability to use Square for Retail on Android mobile devices has yet to become available. For the time being, only iOS based iPad's will have the option to run Square for retail.

Many of our Sellers have​​​​​ expressed this same desire for Retail on Android devices, so we will continue to update everyone when we have an accurate timeline to share for release. Thanks for your patience!

Any updates for Android-based mobile? It has been a year since the response provided above. Thanks! Melanie

Hello there @jennEvolve, and welcome to the Seller Community

Our team has worked hard to optimize Square for Retail and creating new features. At this time, Square for Retail is currently available on Square Register, Square Terminal, and compatible iOS and iPadOS devices. I appreciate you taking the time to make this request. To appropriately send these to our product teams we’d love it if you'd submit this request on our Ideate page for Square Retail. Our team monitors these boards, and we triage them to measure needs. You can search the boards to see if this has been requested before and add your use case if so!

That's great to point me off in that direction. With over 32 pages of feature requests and no way (that I can see on my android) to search WITHIN the feature requests. Which would explain why I'm seeing people asking for the same things. I'm up to page 12 now and haven't seen the android request yet. Though is see lots of requests (like this one) in the discussions

I am waiting on an answer to this as well.
