Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:16 pm

There are two ways to connect your Square Reader to Shopify. The first way is to connect it directly to Shopify’s POS app.

The second way is to connect it to a register that’s integrated with Shopify.

If you want to connect your Square Reader directly to Shopify’s POS app, you’ll need to use the Lightning connector. To do this, first make sure that your Square Reader is charged and turned on.

Then, open the Shopify POS app and go to the Settings menu. Under the Hardware section, select Connect Hardware. Select Square from the list of available hardware devices.

PRO TIP: If you are using the Square Reader to take payments in your Shopify store, be aware that you will need to have a compatible smartphone or tablet to use it. The Square Reader is not compatible with all devices, so make sure you check the list of supported devices before trying to connect it to your Shopify account.

If you want to connect your Square Reader to a register that’s integrated with Shopify, you’ll need to use the USB connector.

Then, go to the Settings menu in your Shopify admin and select Hardware. Select Add a new device and then select Square from the list of available devices.

Conclusion:

There are two ways to connect your Square Reader to Shopify – either directly through Shopify’s POS app or through a register that’s integrated with Shopify. If you’re using the Lightning connector, you’ll need to open the Shopify POS app and go to Settings > Hardware > Connect Hardware. If you’re using the USB connector, you’ll need to go to Settings > Hardware in your Shopify admin and select Add a new device.
