Just bought a new hp desk top all in one. 

Hi @Mamie — It looks like another seller had the same question, and received an answer. Check out this thread for more details. 👍

I really wish that Square register was available on a laptop, or PC. My laptop has a touch screen and the battery life is much better than my iPad. When will Square offer an update that is compatible??

A quick update to this thread: You can now connect a magstripe reader to an Apple computer or Chromebook to accept payments with Virtual Terminal!

This Product Update post has more information: Swipe In-Person Payments from your Computer. 🎉

Can I use square on my desktop computer connected to my point of sale terminal?

Is it possible to make a deposit online without using my phone?

@BillFreeman @Sergio Here's a thread with similar questions. You can send invoices via email to your customers that they can pay, but taking payments can only be done via the Square Register app on a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. 

I want to be able to process transactions by entering credit card information on my laptop.  How do I activate my account to process transactions through my laptop?

I don't want to use my phone.  I want to process using my laptop.

How can I do an online credit card payment? He gave me hiscredit card information and I need to get paid. Please call me if you have any questions [personal information redacted].

I need to know if there is a way to use my laptop macbook with the square.

No, Square only works on mobile devices like iphones and ipads.  you can log into square on a computer and use the dashboard to setup items and look at sales and stats.

You can use the Square Dashboard online in a browser to accept cards in "Virtual Terminal".  It's not as robust as using the Square POS app but it will get the job done for accepting payments. Currently, Square's readers are not compatible with computers.

@VanKalkerFarms - Thanks for helping out with this one! 

@naplesportraits - Kudos on your first post! We're happy to have you in the community. 👐🏻  Just as a follow up, our Square Readers won't work with a desktop or laptop computer, but this is a popular feature request we hear. You can use our reader with most Android and iOS devices though. Also, since VanKalkerFarm's response answered your question, would you mind marking it as "Best Answer"? It will help the community find the same question more easily. Thanks!

So if its a popular request from 2016 where is the card reader for pc.

Hi @Monsoon - This feature is currently available for Apple computers and Chromebooks with the magstripe reader. You can learn more at Virtual Terminal: Swipe In-Person Payments From Your Computer. No PC compatibility at this time, but we'll update this thread if that changes in the future.

I love how my critic of this issue was removed. Pretty shady.

I'm not sure what you mean. Your initial comment that I responded to wasn't moved and is still listed above. If there was another post you're referring to, it doesn't look like we received it.

Thanks so much.  This will help immensely.  Most of our customers pay over the phone or we use the card they have file with us.  So I knew a reader wouldn't help.  Have a great holiday season!

How long does it take to get free square reader sent to you?
