Trying a test run of the Square interface as a merchant so I can better educate shops at my local town — Am I missing something to accept Bitcoin as payment? I can only seem to do the conversion part 🤨 Cc nostr:npub1ds3hmzemzgp9rsuvyvxqdk0y3uxnq9m903dktjxrvyfwk9w99t4sc2hzcn
Anyone tried this? #asknostr
I see
What do you see my brother?
Looks like you're good? The 'payments' is set to bitcoin
Does this guide help?

Odd that it shows btc on the backend but not the front. I’m guessing you’re on the latest Square app version?
Also, did the store successfully land on the CashApp merchant map?
Yeah totally running the latest iOS update. Haven’t turned on the merchant map just yet but I see the option to do that.
I know TG sucks, but I ran through the Square activation process (on an old iPad) and documented it here in our Chief Lightning Officers group.

Looks like mine landed right above “more” 🤷🏽♂️
It’s the oddest thing, I don’t see it at all, even when I go to my POS settings > checkout > payments. Does square use your devices location or your business location to determine if you can accept Bitcoin? I’m currently physically in NY state but my business is based in CT. That’s the only thing I can think of?!
Yea, I’m pretty sure Square app requires location & microphone to use it. This screenshot is iOS settings, then use search bar “Square”
Might be that it knows you’re in NY, and NY is well…🤡
I’m 10min away from the border — I’ll cross to CT later today and see if Bitcoin magically shows up 😃
I just left the farmers market and neither of my two vendors heard about the release or knew how to enable bitcoin payments
I am planning on going back tomorrow with clear instructions on how to enable it
Same for me — that’s why I went through this process so I can educate them next week.
I did not even see the bitcoin conversion on the screens they were showing me…
This I found — Settings > banking > bitcoin.
It’s weird because even as a merchant with square there have been no announcements or emails. I would never have known about the feature at all if not for nostr. I wonder why square doesn’t put out the word en masse to all merchants?
We can see how accurate these steps are tomorrow. My dude ran out of raw milk and shrimp today so it gives me an excuse to go back
Based on the above I think the issue is that they need to be on a computer…
This cannot be facilitated through the merchant app they actually use on their phones?

Not sure if computer makes a difference — I did this whole process on my phone and was able to at least set up the square btc wallet. Gonna log in on computer to see if I missed anything.
Will report back tomorrow
Anyone that frequents legion park market or the viscaya farmers markets in Miami should be able to pay the milk/egg/meat guy with bitcoin starting tomorrow
Also need to work on the veggie stand…
