The picture in the photo is what I see each time at businesses that accept square. Is the employee selecting "credit card" from a list before they flip the terminal to me and I see this screen? Do I need to ask them to go back a screen and select bitcoin instead? I'm just looking for a more specific instruction from someone who has done it (if possible)
Can anyone share where the employee is to look in between these two steps:
"Can you check please? All the square terminals are accepting Bitcoin now."
"OK... Actually we do take that I see that."
I'd be more inclined to ask if I felt more knowledgeable of what they should be looking for.
Also, what do I expect to see differently if they succeed compared to the square screen I normally see which is the one below? An extra button that says bitcoin somewhere on it?
I'm hoping at some point to find a walkthrough of what the screens look like when paying in bitcoin at a cash terminal. Complete with button presses on the seller's side, as well as button presses on the buyers side. Haven't been able to find this so far. Seeing that first would make me far more comfortable asking other square businesses once I know what I'm looking to see.
yea, I think seeing once what it is supposed to look like would help a lot. Seems a video of that doesn't exist anywhere that I can find.
I would love to see a video of what it looks like when it is working. Would be great to know what I was looking for. I have looked a few times and can't find anything. For example, is the following screen replaced with something else? Is there an extra button that appears on it?
the QR code that shows up by default (I.e. the one in the photo above) appears to just be a way to pay in fiat from Cash App. I did try to scan that one with a lightning wallet just in case, but it failed as expected.
I went to two businesses with square this weekend. At both, when it was time to checkout, the terminal had a black screen with the options to tap/insert a credit card, as well as a QR code to scan to pay with Cash App pay. No bitcoin option. I wonder if the cashier tapped the 'credit card' option on their side of the register before I had the option to choose Bitcoin, or, if there was no Bitcoin option. Would be great to see what the expected flow is but I haven't been able to find anything. This video from square (https://youtu.be/HnOzE5nNegI) doesn't contain the screen I am used to seeing when I pay at businesses with square.
This is the screen I always see:
Has anyone seen new bitcoin accepting merchants show up in their area on the merchant map inside Cash App? I assume the map will soon look like a map of any business with a square terminal?
Thoughts on making an additional geyser goal for adding the project to Start9/StartOS? With StartOS v0.4.0 allegedly making it easier to expose certain services to clearnet, it might be a good match for BOLT12 Pay
Can you connect it to other applications via NWC? For example, could I connect it to Castamatic to stream sats to podcasters, or connect it to ppq.ai to keep my balance of ai tokens topped up, connect it to stacker.news, or to my Nostr client for zapping posts?
Figured it out. It’s the smart quotes default on the iOS keyboard. Only straight quotes work for the exact text search. To turn it off in iOS settings turns off all smart punctuation. Any way to make it so someone typing in “simplex” on iOS will get the same results as "simplex"?
A blur slider on the past photos to show what they looked like as they came into focus would be a fun feature.
Fantastic. Asking a merchant "Hey, I see you use square. I heard Bitcoin was added to all square terminals. Any chance you can check to see if Bitcoin shows up on the page after you click checkout?" is a specific enough request that I'd be open to asking as long as there wasn't a line at checkout. Will start giving it a shot.
