Square terminal and cash drawers

[TastyTreats13]

I am looking at purchasing the Square Terminal for my mobile coffee van. As I want the simplest set up I can, is there anyway I can connect an existing cash drawer with Ethernet connection to the Terminal for cash payments? Probably a silly question, sorry!

Hey @TastyTreats13,

If you're looking to use an existing cash drawer I gather it may connect via an RJ11 port rather than Ethernet? They look similar, but RJ11 is smaller and is the connection type that mosh cash drawers use to connect to POS systems!

RJ11 based cash drawers can connect to Terminal, however you'd need to do so via a compatible receipt printer as this draw is not able to connect directly with Terminal. Another option would be a USB cash drawer in conjunction with Hub for Terminal - though this is a more costly route.

Let me know if you have any questions!
