How to set up Square Register

Let’s get your Square Register up and running.

Inside your box there’s a Square Register, customer display and cable, getting started guide, power adapter and cable, accessory hub, mounting plate, and mounting tools.

Start by removing the protective wrap from Square Register and the customer display.

Carefully lift the customer display out of Register and lay it down flat. Then, remove the protective foam pad.

Square Register has a touchscreen, power button, micro USB ports, cleat slot for the mounting plate, and release latch to undock the customer display.

Adjust the viewing position of Square Register by carefully tilting the screen.

The customer display has a touchscreen, EMV chip card slot, NFC antenna, magstripe reader, and micro USB ports for the customer display cable.

To get Square Register powered up, connect the accessory hub to Register by plugging the cable into either one of the micro USB ports located on the bottom of Register. Then, grab the power adapter and connect it to the accessory hub.

Plug one end of the power adapter cable into the power adapter and the other end into a power outlet. Square Register must be connected to a power source at all times.

How to set up the customer display

The customer display can be docked for more compact counters, or undocked for tiered or wider counters.

To dock the customer display, make sure no cables are connected to the display, then simply place it into its slot on Register. Press firmly on both edges until you hear a click to ensure it’s locked in place.

To undock the customer display, turn Register upside down and carefully place the screen onto a soft, clean surface. Hold in the release latch located on the base of Register, and remove the customer display at the same time.

To connect the customer display when it’s undocked, use the included cable. Plug one end into the customer display and the other end into the bottom of Register.

How to turn on Square Register

Once your customer display is set up, turn on Square Register by pressing the power button until the Square logo appears on the screens.

Set up your internet connection via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. We recommend connecting by Ethernet for the best performance. Simply plug one end of the Ethernet cable into your router, and the other end into the accessory hub.

How to set up hardware accessories

You can connect a cash drawer, printer, or bar code scanner to Square Register via USB.

Simply plug them into the accessory hub. When the confirmation appears on screen or you hear the sound, you’re connected.

To test your accessory, go to Settings, tap your connected accessory, then tap the test button.

I like this.

Is the stand connected with the register? Or is that sold separately?

[beaniril]

hardware, like printers and scanners, are limited only to stars receipt printers and 2 to 3 models of scanners only. IOW, you can't use your old USB receipt printers and scanners, like Epson and Zebra or Metrologic scanners or any omnidirectional scanners. This register is not designed for a busy small/medium retail store that uses omnidirectional scanners.

Hello, I’m going from ends to meet just to get square but I can’t seem to find a number anywhere that allows me to just call and get it set up? How do I contact them?? The two numbers I’ve found are asking for a code but I can’t get a code unless I’m a member
