Sandbox Short: Terminal API

Build with Square Terminal API to give your sellers access to the sleek Square Terminal device for all-in-one credit card processing and printed receipts.

Terminal and Devices APIs let developers integrate Square in-person payments in custom point-of-sale (POS) apps using a Square Terminal to simplify chip and NFC payments, address EMV certification requirements, and make PCI compliance easy.

A POS app sends a request to check out a buyer on a paired Square Terminal by using the Terminal API. The terminal checkout request goes to Square, which forwards it to the paired Square Terminal. The request carries the total amount to collect and the expected Square Terminal payment screen behavior.

Will this terminal work only with the native app, or could a custom in-house android app also work?

Which square devices support terminal API?

Hi I have one confusion that if I want to use other payment gateway like Stripe or Braintree then is it possible to integrate these payment gateways to square devices?

This is great how do you implement this correctly as I've followed a few guides and cannot get this to work with Java.
