Square Register
If your counter is the bottleneck, Register is the Square device built to keep it moving. Staff rings the sale on one screen while the guest tips, signs, and pays on the other. Omega helps you decide if Register, Terminal, or a mixed Square setup is the right floor plan, and stays with you through go-live.

Overview
Why operators pick Square Register
Square Register (2nd generation) puts a merchant screen and a customer screen on one counter so guests can confirm, tip, and pay without handing a card back and forth.
Register is Square’s dual-screen counter station: staff rings the sale on one display while the guest tips, signs, and pays on the other. Omega maps counter space, cash drawer, and whether you also need Handheld or Kiosk so you are not guessing on opening week.
Often strongest for
- Busy retail counters
- QSR & cafés
- Boutiques
- Front desks
- Multi-lane checkout
- Two screens so guests confirm, tip, and pay without passing a card over the counter
- Contactless, chip, and magstripe (with Square Reader for magstripe where needed)

Built for how you actually sell
Square sets the product. Omega maps it to your floor, volume, and whether Clover or another system is still the better fit.
Fixed lane that stays on
Wi-Fi or Ethernet for a station that should not depend on a phone battery at 6 p.m.
Runs the full Square POS modes
Restaurant, retail, services, and beauty modes on the same Register when your plan includes them.
Checkout
Tap, insert, and tip without rotating a tablet
Register is for shops where the counter is the bottleneck. Dual screens cut the wait-while-I-spin-the-iPad shuffle. Omega confirms you actually need two dedicated screens before you skip Terminal.
- Contactless and chip on the customer display
- Magstripe via Square Reader for magstripe if you still need swipe
- Guest-facing tip and receipt flow
Accessories
Drawer, printer, and a station that looks finished
Most counters need a cash drawer and a receipt plan. We map those accessories with the Register so unboxing is not a weekend of missing dongles.
- Cash drawer and printer as a planned kit
- Ethernet when Wi-Fi is unreliable
- Second lane with Terminal or Handheld if the line wraps
Partner
Hardware price is Square’s. The mix is ours.
Square sets Register pricing and software plans. Omega’s job is honest comparison with Clover Station and other counters we already place, then onboarding if Register is the fit.
- No assumed no-cost placement
- Clover remains available
- Local support after go-live

Who Register is for
Register is the Square all-in-one for merchants who live at a fixed counter. Dual screens cut the “wait while I rotate the iPad” shuffle. If you already know you need a customer-facing display for tips, receipts, and loyalty, start here instead of bolting accessories onto a smaller device.
How Omega helps you deploy it
We map counter space, receipt flow, cash drawer needs, and whether you also need a Handheld for line-busting or a Kiosk for self-order. You are not buying a box from a website and hoping the unboxing video matches your floor. Hardware options and Square software plans depend on your volume and industry. We walk that through before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Is Square Register included with processing?
Square publishes its own hardware pricing and software plans. Through Omega’s Square partnership, we help you choose the right device, confirm what is included, and complete onboarding. Ask us about current hardware options for your volume. Do not assume a website list price is your final program.
Can Register work with other Square devices?
Yes. Register is designed as a primary station that can share items, tickets, and reporting with Square Handheld, Terminal, Kiosk, and kitchen display on the same Square account.
Is this Square device included with processing?
Square publishes its own hardware pricing and software plans. Through Omega’s Square partnership, we help you choose the right device, confirm what is included, and complete onboarding. Do not assume Clover no-cost placement applies to Square.
Can Omega still offer Clover instead?
Yes. Square is an addition, not a replacement. If Clover, Union, a vertical POS, or a simple terminal is the better fit, we will say so and quote that path.
