Square introduces the Square Handheld, a multipurpose card reader that fits in your back pocket
Briefly

Square has introduced a new handheld device aimed at simplifying transactions for sellers by providing a lightweight and portable alternative to traditional card readers. The Square Handheld features an IP54 rating for durability against dust and water, supports a variety of payment methods, and is equipped with a camera and barcode scanner. Businesses that have tested the device, such as Cisco Brewers and La Mediterranee, report that it enhances order efficiency and customer interaction, fostering deeper connections between sellers and their clientele.
The Square Handheld frees up hands for a more seamless integration into the user's workflows, supporting multiple payment options while being compact and portable.
It's tremendously helpful to place orders instantly at each table instead of waiting at a counter and entering multiple tables' orders at once, enhancing efficiency.
The device operates as a conversation starter, helping businesses connect more deeply with customers by facilitating closer interactions during transactions.
The Square Handheld's barcode scanner enhances the verification process, making it easier to check IDs, thus improving service efficiency and customer experience.
