Virtual Cashier + Square Reader

by Crowd Kode

Virtual Cashier works seamlessly with Square Card Reader giving businesses a powerful way to take payments in-store or on-location without needing an additional human cashier. 

The reason why this is such a big deal is because businesses will only pay the lower "card present" transaction rate with Virtual Cashier. It's "Code" and "QR" driven, so a Customer can walk right up to one and enter their Receipt Code, their Phone Number or hold their phone up to Virtual Cashier's built-in device-camera (it's just an iPad) showing their Order's QR Code, which will instantly pull up the amount due - and immediately prompt the Customer to pay via Credit Card.

Note: Since it's powered by Square's Card Reader a Customer can use the contactless card option and literally just hold their card up to the Reader.

The included video is a rough, first-edit that our team used to get Virtual Cashier approved and into the App Store (ie. you have to really thoroughly explain the entire setup process and technology to get some Apps approved). We decided to leave the raw, unedited, original footage to let you see just how finicky setup processes can be when you're first trying to sync hardware (similar to how we were trying to sync Square's Card Reader to the iPad). Now, after having done the setup countless times, we have it down to about a 1 minute process. 

At the 5:55 minute mark the Square Card Reader is finally in sync and you can see us take a real - and successful payment - the process takes about 10 seconds flat showing how incredibly fast Virtual Cashier is for end-customers.
