Great questions! 👍

 

You can definitely do this. You will just need to download the Square Point of Sale app onto each mobile device, and sign in using the same Square account (username and password). The readers don't actually have any account information tied to them - the app is the brains of the operation. 

 

Hope this helps!

Hey @KaylaJohnSquare POS is the Square Point of Sale app. Can you explain in a little more detail what you're experiencing?

I don't have an account yet. What I'm wondering is can I and my business partner each use our own phones with separate readers for the same account?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The answer is YES. After you have your account set up with Square you must log in to your account. You can log in with your phone, your business partners phone, an iPad etc. As long as you are logged in you are ready to go! Hope this helps.

How do I get the APP on my cell phone.  I signed up yesterday for a new account.  I got a new phone I-6 as well and when they transferred my info to the new phone they took the Square off of my apps.

 

Help me with this.  Myrtle Pilgreen

If you have multiple users logged in on multiple devices, can you see open tickets on each other's device?

My friend lost their reader, can they use my spare? Will it go to their account and not mine if they use my reader?

@EKVeysey readers are not connected to an account.  all that matters is they are logged into their account and all will be fine.

I already have one square system. (stand, cash drawer, reciept printer, chip reader)

Can an additional system communicate with the original system in my bar? For example, can a ticket be opened on one system, and then viewed/modified on the second system?

yes, it can.  the new device will download your data from the cloud on sign in.  and yes open tickets are viewable on any device logged into your account as long as you turn on open tickets in the settings of the iPad or iPhone.

Welcome to the Community and good question.

 

The main account owner will get the notification that someone has logged in using that email address. They will just need to provide you with the code to verify it is allowed.
