SquareTerminal - Credit Card Machine to Accept All Payments | Mobile POS

I have both a traditional merchant account with a large bank, and a Square account because my business travels and sometimes a phone line is unavailable for my Verifone machines. Up until this Square register purchase, my staff were using Square phone readers (the plug in kind) on their cell phones where traditional phone lines were unavailable. Not a big deal, but sometimes phone batteries would run down quick. Same thing with the Square bluetooth cube: battery can run down much quicker and sometimes BT would disconnect when trying to make a sale. Additionally some customers didn't feel comfortable with no printed receipt, or their card being swiped on someone's phone. SO..this terminal is VERY NICE! It works exactly the same and looks the same as the Square phone app & dashboard, so no learning curve for staff. It even prints receipts, which is nice because some folks still don't want receipts emailed or texted. This machine worked flawlessly right out of the box, and after a whole day of use the battery had barely gone down. You can easily connect to wi-fi anywhere. A power cord and accessories hub was included in my purchase, so even if the battery gets low, a quick plug in will keep you in business. The accessory hub allows you to connect via ethernet cable if you can't use wi-fi, and it also has USB ports so you can connect other devices, charge phones, etc. The machine has a substantial weight to it and seems sturdily built. I can't think of any negatives; I'm really surprised at how nice it is. I felt it was a little pricey but perhaps that is because it is new, and unlike traditional terminals, doesn't require your bank to download software. So it acts more like a computer than a regular terminal. The print quality is very nice, and in your Square dashboard you can add a custom message to your receipts. You will also see any items you have created in your dashboard so you can keep track of which items sell the most; you can see and print reports from the terminal as well. Time will tell if it will hold up but for the first day of business it was excellent and I am very pleased with my purchase.

Great for a small business. Easy to use, prints receipts and is a decent price.Don't leave this Square terminal in sunny area. It will not function anymore. Also, had to purchase replacement charger cables as they don't last over a year. Square service is not helpful. Basically, on your own to troubleshoot issues.

This Square terminal has been a fantastic addition to my business. I purchased it a year ago, and it’s been performing flawlessly ever since. The setup was straightforward, and it’s incredibly user-friendly, which makes processing payments quick and efficient.One of the standout features is its versatility. It accepts all types of payments, including chip, contactless, and magstripe. The built-in receipt printer is a nice touch.I’ve also been impressed with its durability and reliability. Despite heavy use, there have been no issues with connectivity or performance. The battery life is excellent.Overall, this terminal has been a valuable investment. Highly recommended for any business looking for a reliable and feature-rich payment solution.

My wife set this up and there seemed to be a little complexity in getting it ready for our business. Once all the set up was complete, learning how to use it was a breeze. It's pretty intuitive and it's also wireless so you can carry it around.

Getting this machine was the best thing I did. It is easy to use and has so many options you can surely keep up with all of your inventory and sales with it. A+

Constant issues out of the device from Day 1.Would take forever to start a payment, would have to close in and out multiple times to start a payment. Now Square has launched a “verification process” on my account out of nowhere, and will not allow me to even access the funds that I’m bringing in to my business until the verification is complete. I’ve been using this for 3 months now, and they’re just now doing this. No warning. Nothing. Just an email saying I can’t access my own funds for MY safety.Company is ran by crooks evidently, will never be using Square again, I would advise you don’t either. I’m opting to do my payment processing through my bank instead, much less hassle.

I purchased the Square when I started my small home business to take with me to Farmers Markets. I have to say it is SUPER simple to use and worth every penny. I am able to access the information from my phone, computer, and the Square reader. Also, I don't think I would be as successful at my markets without this because people love the option to pay with tap to pay. (Not everyone carries around cash these days)It is super durable and stays charged for a pretty good amount of time.
