Hi Serene- we use the Square on a very old ipod touch taken from my daughter when we upgraded her device. (if you use an ipod touch you must have WIFI access) After the patient signs on the screen, he or she chooses whether to get a receipt by email or text. You can't print from the device directly. You can go on line to your Square account and request a receipt be re-sent. However, for security I do not allow front desk staff access to the online account-that is how you control what bank account the money goes to.
Two caveats:
1. If you forget what pt account a charge goes to, you will never be able to find out! Staff must record elsewhere which patient each deposit belongs to. Your online account will not show you patient names. We had this happen once when a patient called in with a phone charge and staff could not later recall who it was.
2. Order a back-up square device (they are free) as sometimes they stop working.
