Where it fits
Trades we put this in.
When it’s the wrong answer
It depends on an iPad, which is a device you have to own, insure and eventually replace. If you don’t have one, the Register is usually better value once you add the tablet in.
Questions
Square Stand, answered.
Which iPads work with it?
Square publishes a compatibility list and it changes as models age. We check yours before you order rather than after.
What happens when my iPad stops getting updates?
You replace the iPad, not the stand. Worth factoring in — it’s the one ongoing cost people forget with this option.
Can the customer see the screen?
It rotates, so yes when you want it to. It isn’t a permanent second screen like the Register.
Not sure this is the one?
Tell us how you trade and we’ll tell you which of these we would actually fit, even if it’s the cheaper one.
