In-Person Payments

Go to solution Solved by paul2009,

We have our Squarespace Commerce account linked to Stripe, and we primarily sell tickets to organization-sponsored events. We now want to be able to sell event tickets "at the door" to the event and take credit card payments with a mobile card reader, rather than force everyone to buy online while standing at the box office. Is there any way to use the Stripe e-reader with Squarespace and have sales integrated with Squarespace commerce reporting? Inventory management is not a concern but tracking all revenue in a single place is. Based on my reading, it appears that the only way to take in-person mobile payments is by using the Square card reader which uses Square as the payment gateway for in-person sales. This means I have two different processing accounts - one for online sales and one for in-person sales, which is inefficient, to say the least. Is there a better solution?

TIA

If you are based in the US, you can use the Squarespace Point of Sale feature of the Squarespace App, in combination with a Square reader. Although the in-person transactions will be processed on Square payments (and not Stripe) all the transactions will appear in Squarespace Commerce.

If you are based anywhere else, you can't use Squarespace POS features yet, so you'll need to use an entirely separate method that isn't integrated with Squarespace Commerce.

Thanks for your reply. We are in the US.  I was asking if there was a way to use Stripe rather than Square for in-person purchases. It sounds like perhaps there is not.  Thanks again.

It isn't possible to use Stripe for in-person purchases on Squarespace Commerce.

To explain, this is because to take in-person purchases you must use the Square reader and this only works with Square payments.
