Enter a custom sale amount

  1. From the Square app, tap Keypad.

  2. Enter a custom amount, followed by the + icon. Repeat these steps to turn the Square app into a quick calculator.

  3. You can tap Current Sale (at the top) and select a sale amount to adjust the quantity, GST, discounts or add a note.

  4. To charge your customer, tap Charge.

  5. You’ll see one green light on the reader. Insert the chip card or hold the contactless card or mobile wallet device over the reader to complete the sale. For contactless payments over $200 or chip card payments, advise your customer to enter their PIN on your device, followed by the tick button.

  6. For payments in which the card is not present tap Manual Credit Card Entry to enter your customer’s card information. Note: If you’re using a mobile device, or your tablet is being used in portrait mode (vertically), tap Review Sale > Charge.

  7. You can also choose to record that the customer has given you Cash or paid in another way using the Other Payment Types option.

  8. Customers can select their receipt delivery preference on the receipt screen.
