    Square Terminal is a complete POS solution with a built-in receipt printer, designed to work best from a countertop, while still being compact and easily movable.

  • What are the benefits of an all-in-one card machine with a built-in printer?

    Square Terminal is a complete, portable POS system that eliminates the need for a separate machine and printer. The built-in receipt printer reduces counter clutter and allows you to provide physical receipts instantly. Because it is battery-powered, you can take the device directly to the customer—whether they are at a table, in a queue or at a remote event.

  • How do I manage refunds and payment disputes directly from Square Terminal?

    You can issue full or partial refunds directly on the Square Terminal by locating the transaction in your activity history. For payment disputes, Square provides a built-in dispute management tool in your dashboard. It guides you through submitting evidence and keeps you updated on the case progress, saving you from the long phone calls typically associated with merchant bank disputes.

  • Does Square Terminal support “signature on screen” for specific card types?

    While most Canadian transactions are Interac Flash (contactless) or chip and PIN, Square Terminal is fully equipped for international customers or specific cards that require a signature. The responsive touchscreen allows customers to sign directly on the device. The signature is then stored digitally, allowing for a 100% paperless workflow and added security for high-value transactions.
