You can run the terminal in "offline mode," and then take it to a place that has wifi to update transactions. Also, if you have a phone that can be a hotspot, it will run work off that while at the event.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Square app requires an internet connection at all times to function properly. This can be either a WiFi connection or a data service on your mobile device (such as 3G, 4G or EDGE). If your network connection is interrupted or temporarily unavailable, you can enable Offline Mode to process swiped card payments. With Offline Mode, you will need to connect to internet to upload your payments, and we cannot verify if credit cards are declined until connected to wifi.
