How to Swipe Card Payments
• Open the Square app and firmly plug the card reader into the device's headset jack or Lightning connector
until you hear a click. Note: You may need to remove your device case or cover to fully connect the reader.
• Add items to the current sale or tap the keypad icon to add custom amounts. If you're using a supported
barcode scanner, you can scan an item's barcode with a SKU saved to your item library. Item in current
sale on an iPad
• Tap an item in the current sale to add a description, create modifications, change the quantity, and apply
tax.
• Item selected from sale: Choose modifier, add note, change quantity, toggle tax and discounts
• Swipe the card smoothly and quickly through the reader with the magnetic strip facing the thick side of
the reader. To split a payment between multiple payment methods, use Split Tender.
• If you have signatures enabled, have your customer sign with their finger. Your customer can also leave
a tip if tipping is enabled. To cancel the payment before it's been processed, tap the X icon or the back
arrow to return to the previous screen.
• Tap Done Signing, and pick the customer's preferred receipt option. With a supported receipt printer, you
can also print a receipt and/or kitchen ticket.

Helpful Tips
• If you have many similarly titled items, or items with long item names, you can view the full item details
before the item is added to the cart. To do so:
• From the Library view in the Square Point of Sale app, press and hold an item name in your list.
• An Item Details screen will open to allow you to view all of the item details, including the full description
and full name.
• From the Item Details screen, you can add the item to the cart or close it and select another item.
• If your customer has a chip card or they'd like to pay with contactless (NFC), you'll need to use a different
Square Reader that accepts these payment types.
• If you experience any Internet connectivity issues, enable Offline Mode to accept payments without a
connection.
