Square Stand
If your team already thinks in iPad, Stand is often the fastest Square counter. It swivels for checkout and uses an iPad you may already own, as long as the model is on Square’s compatible list. Omega will check compatibility before you order a hub that will not fit your tablet.

Frequently asked questions
Does Square Stand include an iPad?
Typically no. The Stand is the hub. You provide a compatible iPad. We will confirm the current compatible list with you before you purchase.
Can Stand run Square Kiosk?
On supported hardware, Square Kiosk software can run on Square Kiosk or compatible Stand setups. Kiosk app fees and Square Plus or Premium may apply. We will spell that out before you switch a counter into self-order mode.
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.
