Square tender types

Setting tender types correctly is important to avoid errors from the Square Point of Sale app. As a rule of thumb, don’t pick types that aren’t available on your Square account.

For example: on a Czech Republic account, credit card payments via Square aren’t available and the account isn’t configured to take them. Adding “Card” to the tender options in Taximeter causes the Square app to return an error:

Square errors are always very descriptive. If you see such an error “The logged-in account cannot take credit card payments”, then please use “Settings” button to open Square settings:

and continue to Tender Types:

Select tender types that apply for you. When you select tender type here, it will also be available for you in the Square app when you switch to it from taximeter. In the example below, when you have Cash + Other setup, Square app offers you these tender options when taximeter opens it for payment:

That covers tender types.
