Set up Square Kiosk app
About Square Kiosk app
When Square Kiosk hardware is paired with the Square Kiosk app, it creates a self-serve ordering solution that empowers customers to place orders and complete payments independently.
Before you begin
We recommend you set up your Square Kiosk hardware, menu items, and item categories before you set up your Square Kiosk app.
The Square Kiosk onboarding guide will walk you through the initial steps to download the Square Kiosk app from the Apple App Store, select the categories and items that you would like to see in your Kiosk menu, set up a device code, and sign-in. You can access the onboarding guide directly in your Square Dashboard.
To sign in to your Kiosk app, you need to create a device code. Learn how to Set up device codes.
Sign in to the Kiosk app
Open the Square Kiosk app and sign in with a 12 digit device code.
If your device code has expired, create a new code on your Square Dashboard.
Navigate to Settings > Device management.
Click Select the Kiosk Device > Reset Device Code. This new 12 digit code can be used to sign into the Kiosk.
Sign out of the Kiosk app
Press the Get Started screen with two fingertips for 5 seconds, and you’ll be prompted for the owner passcode to access device settings and sign out.
Set up Guided Access
Guided Access will allow you to “lock” the Square Kiosk app on your iPad and prevent customers from closing the app while the Kiosk is operating.
On your iPad’s settings app, go to Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access.
Make sure the Guided Access toggle is turned ON.
