@Helen Any update on this? It is essential that we have the ability to accept US CASH for transactions. There should be an option for setting the US Currency CASH rate in the dashboard - so that it cannot be touched via the iPad - that would show at the checkout where the customer chooses cash - and then they have the option of CDN or US cash - and then even in splitting the transaction.
For instance, the total is $55.61 CDN - the customer wants to pay $20 US and the balance in $ CDN - which routinely happens as since we are in a border city, people travel back and forth to the US multiple times during the week. They should be able to pick US $ enter how much they want to pay, say $20 - then the balance would update to what is still due in CDN. This is a typical POS option in almost every retail establishment in Canada as we do accept the US Dollar here. Not the reverse in the US, however, but this is done in Canada to encourage Americans to cross the border and not have to worry about converting money... So another unique Canadian requirement. Note, we do not accept Euros, Japanese Yen, or Chinese Yuan - though I would imagine that Euros would go over well in Ontario and especially in Quebec and the Yen and Yuan would go well in Vancouver, as well as the Yen, and Yuan doing well in Toronto.
Essentially, an exchange calculation system within Square is essential for us in Canada.
