Hello! I’m happy to see the issue is now solved. Thank you for updating us with the outcome.

@Bryan-Square , How can I create a new Device code for already paired terminal? Should I press “Forget” for this terminal, create a new code and sign in by using this code?

If you create the device code with the API and then sign in with that device code you’ll be good to go. The Terminal will be available regardless of the application that you use to call Terminal API. :slight_smile:

So, you are saying that a terminal device can be either used from Square POS, or from Terminal API, and not from both. Is that correct?

If your using Terminal API you’ll first need to create the device code with the API. Device codes created in the Square Dashboard won’t work with Terminal API at this time.
