Interactive Register Tablet Stands

The 'Stand' iPad Register Makes Business Transactions Simpler

— May 16, 2013 — Tech
iPhone app giant 'Square' recently created a Square Stand that converts any iPad into a fully working register that accepts card payments. Perfect for businesses, the Square Stand iPad register allows anyone to manage their business entirely from an iPad.

Square is famous for its apps that allow iPad and iPhone uses to accept any form of cash, interact or credit payments directly onto their device. With the addition of the Square Stand, business can hook up their iPads and convert them into registers that instantly swipe cards and directly accept payments right onto the iPad. With a completely functional receipt printer, cash drawer and bar-code scanner just like any retail register, the Stand's sleek and minimalist design guarantees to help business owners process bigger payments faster.

Currently, the Stand only works with iPad 2 and 3 but should be compatible with newer models in the next couple of months.

3. Integration of Hardware and Software - The Square Stand exemplifies the trend of integrating hardware and software to create seamless and user-friendly experiences, offering business owners an all-in-one solution for their payment needs.
Industry Implications
