Square Handheld
The portable point of sale built to do more
This work started back in 2024. Square customers loved the Terminal, but needed something that was more light weight to carry around and sleek that way it can easily slip into any pocket on the go. With that idea in mind, the work got started.
The types of screens
Payment Flows
With a new device comes a payment flow. But with such a refreshed device, means a sharpened looks needs to come with it. This device can a new look with a with a new tap animation.
Scanner
Another bonus for this device is the fact it comes with a scanner. With a click of a button on the side of the device, you can scan barcodes, qr codes or receipts in less than a second. Although the screens themselves never didn’t do anything special, a new icon was created and added to the status to display the use of the scanner depending on where you are in your flow. It was fun to learn the limitations, and making sure the icon was applied appropriately.
Modes
Square is amazing because it works for so many types of businesses. That also means multiple types of modes need to be created. These modes are all the types of businesses you can set up when you join Square. Restaurants as the most popular, for ether refined sit down, all the way to fast food with quick combo options.
