Square Terminal - Credit Card Machine to Accept All Payments | Mobile POS

I recently purchased the Square Terminal and I’m very satisfied with it. The device is easy to use, fast, and allows me to accept all types of payments (card, tap, chip, and contactless). The screen is clear, and entering amounts is simple. It’s also very portable, so I can carry it anywhere for my business.The price is a bit high, but I think it’s worth it because it makes my work more professional and helps me serve customers faster. The battery lasts well, and I really like that it has a built-in receipt pri – I highly recommend it to anyone running a business and looking for a reliable, simple payment solutio

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.

Very happy with my purchase

Absolutely a must have for any small business, service based or retail based. We use the Square Terminal in our shop and couldn't be any happier with it! It's super simple to use, works every time and Square constantly sends updates to make sure it's up to date with everything needed for my small business.The receipts print very nicely and even print your logo effortless on the receipt. The receipt paper can be found on Amazon for a very affordable price for bulk quantity too!!The one thing we love is that the Square Terminals syncs with your Square Account so you can make changes to products, services, receipt info, and everything else from their website and it will automatically sync to your Square Terminal.The battery life is also pretty amazing. If I didn't plug it in at all, it would last us for at least 2 days with constant use, that's pretty awesome and makes it a perfect portable solution.Another advantage is that the Square Terminal syncs directly with our POS Software so when we ring a sale and a customer wants to to using their card, it sends the info directly to our Square Terminal seamlessly. Not all POS Software Solutions support Square Terminal, but we are very thankful that ours does.Overall, if you are looking for an easy to use, durable, portable POS Solution that can accept credit cards and even print receipts for you, then don't hesitate to purchase the Square Terminal. Just so you are aware, I know my review may sound influenced, but I assure you I have not been influenced in anyway with writing this review. The Square Terminal is just that awesome and I think you'll love it too!

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.

I purchased the Square Terminal 3 Sep 2023 and didn't start using the terminal until the middle of 2024, but as of last weekend, the battery is malfunctioning and will not charge unreliably. Unfortunately for me, Square was smart and integrated a security and tamper feature where the battery is unreplaceable to encourage their customers to purchase a new terminal. The square terminal worked as intended the first couple years and square's software programmers push out software updates monthly. Unfortunately in the past month, some updates have caused my unit to require factory resets regularly. Other than that, the long term hardware reliability has fallen short, but the software reliability is on average reliable and if not, a good old factory reset usually does the trick.

Solid product

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.
