Finally thank you I use my nfc square reader but yay🎉

Since the release of the new version of Tap to Pay, I have been encountering a persistent issue with my Moto Z4 running Android 10. Previously, I could simply disable developer options, restart my phone, and the problem would be resolved. However, now I am continuously faced with the error message "Reader unavailable: secure session denial."

[@doncorneilleodje1331]

Good

[@0GRANATE0]

is this available in switzerland? I don't see the "Tap to Pay" option in the settings on Android Pixel pro 8. Do I have to activate something?

[@square]

Hi there! Square's Point of Sale app is available in Switzerland, but it doesn't support card payments. To process payments in Switzerland, businesses need to find a local card processor. The app can be used to track sales and run a business, but card payments cannot be processed through Square.

[@sarkisfitness1112]

Is this available in Canada or only USA? Thanks,

[@square]

Tap to Pay is not available in Canada.

[@duoflip5231]

is this possible without nfc? because i have a huawei p smart 2021

[@bruhmoment-yt2zp]

No sadly the whole way tap and pay works is based on nfc. If you can't use you're phone as a card to tap you probably can't use this app in the tap way but id assume the link and manual entry systems still work as intended

[@cheslynbotha4223]

Does the funds get transferred straight from square app to ur bank account

[@square]

Yes, when you process payments with Square, they are transferred to your bank account based on your desired transfer option. You can learn more about Transfers options here: squ.re/3Hs2gvb

[@sgrsaya711]

Is there any commission or any monthly charge for the business transaction ?

[@square]

There are no commissions or monthly fees unless you opt into one of our paid subscriptions. You are not obligated to use a paid subscription. We do have a processing fee that is taken from each card transaction that is processed.

[@damionyates4946]

I just get: "card reader unavailable: secure session denial" whenever I try and enable tap to pay. NFC is enabled and I've tried pausing the wallet app in case it's interfering [Update: resolved by turning off developer mode and rebooting]

[@MrTaylorfenoglio]

Same here. S22 Ulta

[@Morian1977]

[@relaxingnoises849]

Can I use this for receiving money from friends? or is it for business use only?

[@square]

You cannot use Square as a person-to-person money transfer, but you can use Cash App for that, bit.ly/41N1i4d.

[@headgorilla89]

What if you don't have NFC

[@mireladelcea7495]

Do I need to purchase a Square card reader in case the card doesn't have contactless or customer want to pay by Apple Pay right? For contacless only my personal phone can be used....I hope I understood correct😊 Thank yoy

[@square]

You can get a Square Reader for cards that have a magnetic stripe and use your phone to take contactless payments.

[@mireladelcea7495]

@@square what about Apple pay, do ai need the card reader? When do I need to use link for payment with this app?thank you indeed

[@square]

You can use Apple Pay with the Square Reader or you can use Apple Tap to Pay. You can learn more about both by searching our support center: squareup.com/help/us/en

[@johnz.2957]

@@square After disabling the Tap to Pay feature, the system has exhibited notable stability. I'm reaching out to kindly request that any alterations to the current setup be avoided, as I am experiencing a heightened level of apprehension regarding potential updates. These changes have a direct impact on all credit card payments processed for my customers. At this point, I would prefer to refrain from receiving further updates. Your understanding is greatly appreciated. Thank you sincerely!

[@johnz.2957]

Following the latest update, Square can establish a connection, but it displays a message that reads, "Server error: Square is experiencing server issues. Please try again later." Due to the frequent and seemingly nonsensical updates, I'm nearing the point where I'm considering switching to another credit card company. This situation is becoming quite frustrating.

[@JuanCarlosYes]

I'm pretty sure that it's more likely Apple who doesn't want to play nice with everyone else, as usual.
