I’m a little sad the word “sats” isn’t used. Looking forward to making my first Bitcoin payment to a local merchant via square. I have a few in mind already.

hell yeah!
How did you find the merchant? Did you have to ask to pay in bitcoin?
I have an ancient square account I setup over 15 years ago and never use. Somehow it continues to exist; so I used it to generate this invoice and see what the steps were to turn on accepting bitcoin payments. So I haven’t found a true merchant to accept payments yet. I know a small handful of businesses with single employees who use Square. It will be trivial to step them through turning on bitcoin payments.
Should just be automatic right? Any Square terminal right? Been meaning to look this up. Gonna go get a milkshake and pay in sats to celebrate.
It was not on by default for me. I had to click activate in the Square settings > checkout > payments section on the iPhone app. This opened up an iOS Safari webpage with a setup wizard asking me some very simple questions. It took 60 seconds to activate.
