Request for Instructions on Initiating QR Code Payments

Questions
1

I would like to ask for guidance on how to initiate QR code payments on a Square Terminal running the new firmware version 5.67.0101.

After updating the Square Terminal firmware on July 29, 2026, I am no longer able to access the QR code payment screen using the previous method. Previously, when a Terminal Checkout request was sent, the terminal displayed the payment screen, and pressing the × button in the upper-left corner opened a menu. From that menu, I could navigate to the QR code payment screen.

With the new firmware, however, pressing the × button simply cancels the checkout process, and the menu no longer appears.

Could you please advise on how the QR code payment screen can be accessed under the updated firmware?

@satoshi to confirm, are you located in Japan? If so, can you try adding "payment_type": "QR_CODE" to the request? It would look something like this:

{
  "idempotency_key": "<unique key>",
  "checkout": {
    "amount_money": {
      "amount": <amount>,
      "currency": "JPY"
    },
    "payment_type": "QR_CODE",
    "device_options": {
      "device_id": "<device id>"
    }
  }
}
