Square, a prominent name in the financial technology sector, has introduced an exciting new product—the Square Handheld. This portable point-of-sale (POS) device is thoughtfully crafted to meet the evolving needs of both restaurants and retail settings.
Weighing in at a mere 11 ounces and measuring less than an inch thick, the Square Handheld merges comprehensive POS functions with a lightweight design, allowing it to easily slip into an apron or pocket when not in use.
The device features a resilient 6.2-inch touchscreen made of Gorilla Glass, alongside an integrated barcode scanner and a striking 16-megapixel camera.
Resilient Against Dust and Water
Equipped to handle both tap and dip payment methods, the Square Handheld operates smoothly with Square’s newly optimized Point of Sale application.
This revolutionary gadget enables merchants to process orders, track inventory, and complete sales transactions from virtually anywhere in their establishment, eliminating the necessity for staff to return to a fixed checkout station.
Following the trajectory of Square’s hardware evolution, which began with their initial card reader, the Square Handheld adds to an impressive family of devices that includes the Square Stand, Square Terminal, and Square Register.
The experience users gain is amplified by seven customizable software modes, specifically tailored to meet the diverse needs of industries such as hospitality, bars, and retail. This adaptability empowers users to switch between modes depending on their current operational tasks, enhancing staff productivity through tailored notifications and controls specially designed for mobile environments.
The introduction of the Square Handheld is part of Square Releases, a fresh initiative aimed at rolling out significant hardware and software enhancements twice a year. This innovative device is now available at the Square Shop for a starting price of $399. The device also offers an array of fashionable protective cases, designed by Belkin, starting at $39.
