Stand and Terminal integration

Is it possible to connect the Stand and the Terminal so I can do and order on the Stand and have the customer pay on the Terminal? In one video I saw they said they synced the stand and the terminal together, but I couldn't find any more info on this.

 

I currently have a lot of items on the stand, but I would like to have the amount displayed when the customer uses their card (plus the option of printing a receipt). I guess I'm asking for the 2nd screen like the Register, but it isn't available in Australia. I would use the Terminal, but the list is too hard compared to the pages I have for the products on the stand. It's all about speed in selecting the items.

 

I realise that I could enter the order on the stand and then put the amount in the terminal, but this would be two steps and if I wanted to record the items from the stand, I would either have to enter the order them on the terminal or process both on each device which would incorrectly double the amount taken.

Hi @SteveIceCream! Thanks for joining the Seller Community!

 

There's not a way to connect the Stand to the Terminal or vice versa. Like the Square Stand, the Terminal is also a stand alone point of sale system.

 

I definitely understand what you mean about the view of the items being easier to look at on the Stand. I can share this with our product team so that they can track this feedback. But sorry to say that right now there's not a way to link the two.

 

Let us know if any other questions arise!

Thanks for the reply Nika_

 

I should point out http one of the Terminal videos says that they synced it up to their square stand. It's at 1:10 and on this one:

@SteveIceCream That's a cool video- haven't seen that yet!

 

I think the context might be a bit off... I can definitely confirm that the Terminal isn't able to connect to the Square Stand. 

 

If this does ever come to be true, that's a big announcement that we'd make here in the Community!
