What is the Square Handheld?

The Square Handheld is a pocket-sized mobile point-of-sale device built for speed on the floor. With a 6.2″ Gorilla Glass touchscreen and a built-in barcode scanner, servers can take and send orders tableside and retail staff can ring up and look up items anywhere in the store.

Tap to pay is built right in, and it pairs with a Square Reader for chip and swipe — all running Square’s POS software, so orders and sales sync with the rest of your Square system in real time. Offline mode keeps you selling for up to 24 hours if the network drops.
