Square, the digital payments company founded by Jack Dorsey which officially became available to Irish retailers last year, has announced that the Square ‘Register’, their point of sale (POS) solution, is now available for Irish businesses.
The new device is a countertop POS system with embedded software that includes delivery and order management along with Square’s own secure payment technology. The system also runs Square’s vertical POS software, Square for Retail and Square for Restaurants.
It also includes a detachable customer facing display which also houses a card payment terminal along with the option to pick up a 2 metre cable to allow more options for placement in-store.
“We’re excited to be launching Square Register in Ireland” said Mike MacLennan, Head of Hardware at Square. “Our sellers can now benefit from two integrated touch screens, providing simplicity for staff and security for customers. At Square, we understand the need for omnichannel selling and with Square Register, businesses can integrate POS and online order management into one modern device to work seamlessly together. This means our sellers never have to worry about missing a sale and can streamline their business operations with ease.”
Square Register gives sellers the choice of ethernet, Wi-Fi, and a five-port USB hub to integrate with peripheral devices; and it accepts all major forms of payment. For sellers who need to manage in-store as well as online orders, Square Register integrates with Square’s ecommerce product Square Online, and is compatible with a variety of third-party solutions as well.
“We have wanted to bring Square Register to Ireland since launching in the country last year. We’ve seen the demand from our sellers for a solution for their countertop that brings together our sleek hardware, with integrated software, and a seamlessly managed payment experience,” said Jason Lalor, Executive Director at Square Europe. “As we continue to emerge from an incredibly difficult trading environment for Irish businesses, we know this product will be of use to sellers immediately.”
Square Register is available in Ireland for one upfront cost of €299 + VAT (usually priced at €599), and it will be available on Square Shop. All sellers get a two-year warranty and 24/7 phone support, alongside simple pricing, no long term commitments and as soon as next business day transfers.
