Device Code

  1. After submitting the newly created Terminal, you'll be presented with a Device Code:

  2. A 5-minute timer begins as soon as this code is generated

    1. If it runs out before pairing completes, you'll need to delete the Terminal and add it again to generate a fresh code

    2. To avoid this, have your Terminal switched on, connected to Wi-Fi and signed out of any accounts before you submit the Terminal

    3. Once paired, this code can be reused to sign the same Terminal back in - the 5-minute limit only applies to the first pairing

  3. On your Terminal, make sure you are signed out of any accounts

  4. Then go to Sign In > Use a device code

  5. Enter the Device Code from Line-Up

  6. The Line-Up screen will refresh once the connection has been established, and your Square Terminal is now complete
