Set up Square Kiosk app
About Square Kiosk app
When Square Kiosk hardware is paired with the Square Kiosk app, it creates a self-serve ordering solution that empowers customers to place orders and complete payments independently.
Before you begin
We recommend you set up your Square Kiosk hardware, menu items, and item categories before you set up your Square Kiosk app.
The Square Kiosk onboarding guide in your Square Dashboard will walk you through the following initial steps:
Download the Square Kiosk app
Select your Kiosk menu categories and items
Create a device code to sign in
To sign in to the Kiosk app for the first time, you need to create a device code through the Square Kiosk onboarding guide. After you set up your first Kiosk, you can set up device codes for additional Kiosk devices. Learn how to set up device codes.
Sign in to the Kiosk app
Open the Square Kiosk app and sign in with a 12-digit device code.
If your device code has expired, create a new code:.
Sign in to Square Dashboard and go to Settings > Device management.
Click Select the Kiosk Device > Reset Device Code. This new 12-digit code can be used to sign into the Kiosk.
Sign out of the Kiosk app
Press the Get Started screen with two fingertips for 5 seconds, and you’ll be prompted for the owner passcode to access device settings and sign out.
Set up Guided Access
Guided Access will allow you to “lock” the Square Kiosk app on your iPad and prevent customers from closing the app while the Kiosk is operating.
On your iPad’s settings app, go to Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access.
Make sure the Guided Access toggle is turned ON.
For more information on setting up Guided Access and starting and ending a Guided Access session, review Apple’s support article Use Guided Access on iPad.
