Selling at the booth
Square POS Setups for Trade Show Booth Sales
iPads on stands with charging and connectivity planned for selling at your booth with your own Square account.
At a glance
If you sell at your booth with Square, ConventionVendor.com rents the iPads, stands, and charging for the counter and helps plan connectivity around the show's rules. You sign in with your own Square account, so sales go straight to your business.
A checkout counter for your booth
Shows that allow on-site sales need a checkout that works when the aisle is busy. An iPad on a stand at the counter keeps the line moving.
You sign in with your own Square account, so payments, items, and reports stay in your business.
Card payments need a connection. We plan connectivity with you around the venue's Wi-Fi and hotspot rules.
| Account | Your own Square account |
|---|---|
| Device | iPad on a stand or in a case |
| Power | Booth power from the show's electrical provider |
| Connectivity | Planned around the venue's Wi-Fi and hotspot rules |
| Rental period | Move-in through move-out |
