Features and Limitations of Square API

Questions
1

Hey there,

Our company uses an in-house developed windows based .net CRM system to which we would like to add card & phone payment capability.

Am I right in thinking that Square is able to supply the appropriate hardware and API access to make this happen?

What hardware would I need to get started and are there any limitations I need to be aware of?

Essentially in the first instance I want to be able to select a product on our CRM click a ‘card payment button’ and have that amount displayed on the card reader hardware ready for the customer to tap or insert their phone/card and then to be able to verify the success of the transaction and log the id etc in our CRM.

Does this sound achievable ?

If your going to take in person payments and have the customer tap or insert the card you’ll want to use Terminal API since your using a Windows based CRM. Square Terminal API enables you to connect your Terminal device to any third-party POS software, so you can accept and process payments on the Terminal device and automatically send payment info back to your POS system.
