Unboxing Square Terminal

[@albertocrescini2076]

OMG... Heat print, that's a huge improvement! (Every terminal uses heat print...)

[@Farm4Gold]

Heatprint is potentially carcinogenic

[@NeuroticKnight9]

@@Farm4Gold same risk as other stuff, depends on paper

Yes it a 'thermal printer' - as used for at least 20 years.....

[@BillAnt]

Thermal printing has been available since the 90's, that's around 30 years now. ;D

[@artofdavezilla8696]

LOL! Yes, thermal is ancient fax technology. I think the comparison was meant to appeal to companies (of which there are millions) who use a laser printer or inkjet for their receipts.

[@louisvillehypenetwork6805]

Not new tech just old highly technical stuff simplified. I truly applaud the effort. Hopefully it has no internal storage for card information and can be bricked remotely if stolen.

[@BillAnt]

The daily batch obviously has some kind of storage, but rest assured they use strong RSA end to end encryption, including memory encryption, so no you won't be able to dump anything.

[@DesoloZantas]

Why not make a wireless Cash Drawer that is made for these things but it takes in the money but it automatically drops exact change.

OMG! What a great idea! I would have never thought of this!

[@fatcattowing8990]

I have used Square for the past 8 years, LOVE It. Have been using the square reader for chip cards for the past 3 years. QUESTION: Does this unit still need to Bluetooth to phone, WiFi. Besides wire directly to internet? Thanks

[@squirrel8185]

thats what i wanted to know.

[@imissxxxxx]

I have questions - (1) can we setup chargeable items with only using this square device? (2) can we trace back to previous record (within the same business day) and print out the receipt for that transaction? (3) how do we close the balance for the business day and begin for the next? Sorry for me getting ready to buy the square without using it before. Hope it is not difficult to use. Thank you for attention in advance.

[@TheBauwssss]

We have had this for years and years in Europe (Netherlands to be specific). I thought America was the frontier of technology?

Not in card payments. They are just getting into contactless payment 🤣

[@EverythingEvo]

Large/Medium businesses have had this for a while here in the land of the free. This is geared more towards the small business owners and entrepreneurs ;)

[@ElinWinblad]

THey have had these in USA for years as well, This product is new for THIS COMPANY - aka designed to match their stuff.

[@nortexoid]

No you didn't. When it comes to payments, the US is far behind. BUT, not as far behind as e.g. Germany where you need to have cash to make tons of payments at small businesses which are everywhere (such as restaurants). (Making matters worse, Germany charges huge ATM withdrawal fees.) The Netherlands wasn't bad (I lived in Utrecht for two years not long ago), but it's by no means cutting edge either, especially for a very small country that can upgrade its infrastructure far more easily than a huge country like the US.

[@MatthewStinar]

Our banks are still bitter about the move from quills to ballpoint pens. While the rest of the world was moving to chip and PIN, they steadfastly resisted. When they finally relented, they only implemented the chip and not the PIN. Now the existing chip and PIN system needs updating to stay ahead of criminals, but we're still not finished ungrading gas pumps from the old mag stripe system. Our banks would rather eat the losses from fraud than adopt modern security.

[@benwilson9150]

Hey Square. I’m a vision impaired person who loves to go out and about I prefer to use card instead of cash as it is safer for me and more trustworthy. I can struggle using touch screen payment terminals when a purchase is over the tap and pay limit. How does your machine allow for a person who is vision impaired/blind to enter their PIN number without having to tell it to someone else, I.e. do you have a physical keypad that can be attached?

[@rishav4343]

only cash for you

[@benwilson9150]

Rishav R you know very little about accessibility then my uneducated friend. It is a right to be able to spend ones money unhindered and without telling another person your own pin code. Unfortunately as technology gets better people tend not to think of every factor. This being an American product is a law suit waiting to happen.

[@rishav4343]

I'm not your friend, and no it's not a right. Nowhere in the constitution it says so, I checked

[@richardrocha]

This could be solved it the hardware could accept voice input, and the credit card used fingerprint scanning as a security measure. The later would be harder to implement, I guess.

[@rishav4343]

The first one voice input is a security issue, someone will overhear it. At least there is some privacy when you press them in a physical keypad.

[@kristi_h]

Woooo.... millions of new software security jobs just opened up at Square ;)

[@jakp8777]

Why?

[@wclifton968gameplaystutorials]

@@jakp8777 to patch any security holes that may incur with customers although I doubt that square cares if a person has his credit/debit card info stolen at a store by a square terminal/POS device.

[@BillAnt]

All modern terminals come with strong RSA end to end encryption. Even if you manage to capture the data stream from the terminal to Square, it's all encrypted garbage. You're better off stealing the customer's card right out of their hand, if that's your thing. lol

how can america be so amazed by EMV contactless cards. UK had it for years.

[@MominNz]

charges are the key, people don't care about style, that much. terminals provided by banks are faster in payment processing. The key is how fast do I get the money in my bank account!

[@DangerousDevilOfficial]

Nice terminal. And I have been using Square for like 15 years. But as nice as this is, why is there no camera for scanning barcodes? Plenty of Android terminals have everything this has, plus cameras front and back. And for less money! I can get one of those Android terminals for about $100. Square needs to catch up here. And add cameras on this so we don’t need another burdensome product in a separate barcode scanner.

Will have a grey oval outline around the text. The Google Developer site offers the image in a vector SVG format. Hopefully this mark will be included on the next version of the Square decal. ^^ Edit: I see that you guys already have this logo on the Afterpay Marketing Kit 👀

[@bepskekaatje424]

Is there an api to get the charge fee into the machine from the pc/kassa?

[@shuggfilmzandstudio2354]

Is this thing only for card payment? I wanted to buy it to use in my business in Togo west Africa and people mostly pay cash. Card usage or any NFC payment isn't really popular there although a few do use them. I just want something to track my sales and how much comes in every day since I'm not on location. Being able to track payments from anywhere around the world on the square app is revolutionary. I'm still undecided on the type of POS hardware to buy.

[@C__D]

Does the hub need to be plugged into electricity? Or can it be plugged into the terminal and draw from the battery there? Or an external battery? Many places we go do not have access to electricity. Need a solution for this.

[@square]

The hub does need to be plugged into electricity when trying to charge the Square Terminal. However, your Square Terminal has a rechargeable battery designed to run for a full day of payments on a single charge. To make sure you are ready to take payments every day, we recommend you charge your Square Terminal overnight using the power adapter provided with the Terminal.

[@C__D]

@@square Thank you for your answer. One followup for clarification. Does the hub work without electricity too? Does it pull power from the terminal battery after it is charged? Or, do you have to have it plugged in to an outlet in order to use a barcode scanner?
