Using multiple Square terminals at your store
Need more than one terminal? No problem - just head to your settings and add a new terminal.
Prerequisites
- Ensure your Square terminals are connected to Wi-Fi.
- Best Practice: Physically label your terminals (e.g., "Counter 1") so you can easily distinguish between them in your system list.
Phase 1: Connecting Your Terminals
- Navigate to Settings > Integrations.
- Select Connect Square Terminal.
- On the physical terminal device, navigate to the sign-in screen.
- Select the option to sign in using a Device Code (do not use email or phone number authentication).
- Enter the code displayed on the terminal screen into the prompt in your browser.
- The terminal will now be registered to your system.
Phase 2: Selecting a Terminal for Payments
- Open the work order or payment screen.
- Select your desired terminal from the dropdown menu.
- The system will remember your choice for the remainder of your browser session.
- If no specific terminal is selected, the system will automatically route the payment to the first terminal in your list.
Troubleshooting
- Terminal Not Appearing: Ensure the terminal is fully powered and connected to Wi-Fi.
- Device Unavailable: If a device was authenticated via email/password instead of a device code, it may be visible but unusable. Please re-authenticate the device using the Device Code method.
- Connection Diagnostics: Visit the Connection Health section within the Integrations settings to view a diagnostic breakdown if you experience issues.
