Stripe Terminal VS Square Terminal

Hey, I'm creating a POS system and want to integrate Stripe Terminal for accepting in-person payments. I need to have offline capabilities so the server-driven integration is no option sadly. So I'll need to use their iOS & Android SDK's. Can anyone help me with this? Or tell me how to integrate two SDK's into a flutter app? (I'll probably be using the BBPOS WisePad 3).

Finally, using gestures solely would only work if a customer is part of a program that already possesses their credit card details. If a gesture is not used as a confirmation input but as the payment method itself, we need some way to match payment details to this gesture and this user.

The short answer here is: there's companies which will provide you a cloud API to interact with a card reader they provide, and that's the least awful way to use one. These include Stripe (https://stripe.com/terminal), Square (https://squareup.com/us/en), SumUp (https://sumup.com/), and going towards the enterprise end, things like Adyen (https://www.adyen.com/pos-payments).

We'd love to have you! Make your way to stripe.com/terminal and go through the docs. There's a nice sample that uses a simulator to show you how to get it done. Source: about 2 years ago

Stripe does have a physical terminal too (https://stripe.com/terminal) but I've never seen it at a merchant. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

You can use it just by itself. you just type in the amount you want to charge, and swipe the card. thats what we do. then in our pos software we enter the payment was made. some pos software does integrate more directly with it, but ours does not.

We are looking at a few different brands but know there are hidden things associated with each one (high transaction fees, monthly subscriptions, wifi/landline connection limitations, and even ones that we ALMOST bought before realizing it wouldn't fit our 12.9" iPad. The one we are currently looking at is this one --> Square Terminal. Source: about 2 years ago

I sell food at farmer's markets. I use a Square Terminal to take payments. I share Wifi on my phone to give the terminal access to the 'Net. Source: about 2 years ago

2) Is Square's payroll service worth a damn? I use Square terminals to accept payments at farmer's markets. It seems like I could give one to each employee who sells at a market. They could clock in/clock out through the terminal, and then get paid from Square. Is the service very good? Source: over 2 years ago
