Question 1

Why is the processing fee different for Square Terminal? Instead of a flat 2.75%, its 2.6% + 10¢ per swipe, tap or dip.

Accepted Answer

Square hasn't been flat 2.7% for a long time.  Here is the (nearly) full breakdown of pricing on Square as of Oct 1, 2019:

Square Point of Sale (any device) : 2.6% + 10¢ per swipe 
Square for Restaurants : 2.6% + 10¢ per swipe + $50/mo/location + $40/mo for each addtional POS
Square Appointments: Individuals: 2.6% + 10¢  6–10 employees: 2.5% + 10¢  3.5% + 15¢ (manual entry) + $50/mo for 2-5 employees or $90/mo for 6-10 employees
Square for Retail: 2.5% + 10¢ or 3.5% + 15¢ (manual entry) + $60/mo/location + $20/mo per each addtional POS

Question 2

do you need wifi to use the terminal?

Accepted Answer

If you buy the separate USB hub, you can connect via ethernet as the hub includes an ethernet port. We recently bought a salon that had an old, traditional cc machine that used an ethernet cable, so I merely switched the cable from the old machine to the USB hub, and then the USB output cable to the Square terminal, and it was working fine in a minute or two after going through the setup procedure.  More secure than wifi connection, in case you have issues with pci compliance.

Question 3

will this print a receipt for a cash sale?

Accepted Answer

I am current it does print receipts however cash transaction not 100% sure might just need to be put into it manually

Question 4

Can you charge the square  terminal with a halo bolt ?

Accepted Answer

Yes that’s how I charge my Square all the  time but the Halo is there for backup I usually give my Square a full charge before going to my event!
