Things to know

• Guests have 5 minutes to pay on the terminal. Square (Terminal Payment) is listed under Manual booking in Settings > Payment with a 5 minute time limit. While you wait, you can click Cancel payment.

• Declined payments can be retried. If the payment fails, a Payment Declined message appears. Click Try again, or click Cancel to stop.

• Unpairing, removing and disconnecting. Terminals can only be unpaired in the Square Dashboard. If you cancel the pairing code, the terminal stays in Terminal Mapping as Offline. Click Remove to delete it from the list. [NEEDS REVIEW: what the Retry button does was not tested.] If you click Disconnect, Delta PMS no longer receives updates for payment requests already sent, and you need to connect again to use Square.
