Square Reader SDK lets developers embed the Square checkout flow and accept in-person payments in custom apps using Square Readers. The SDK supports authorization, transaction processing, and Reader management.
Use Square's official Flutter plugin for Reader SDK to build in-person payment solutions on Android and iOS.
The Flutter plugin for Reader SDK acts as a wrapper on the native SDKs and is currently compatible with the following native Reader SDK versions:
- iOS: 1.1.1 and above
- Android: 1.2.1 and above
Try the sample app to see the plugin in action or follow the instructions in the getting started guide to build a custom solution from scratch.
In addition to this README, the following is available in the flutter plugin GitHub repo:

- Reader SDK requires an authorization token from the Mobile Authorization API to connect Square Readers and accept payments.
- Reader SDK only supports on-screen tipping. Digital receipts and tips can be configured in Reader SDK. Tipping on printed receipts is not supported at this time.
- Reader SDK cannot issue refunds. Refunds can be issued programmatically using the Transactions API or manually in the Square Dashboard.
- Reader SDK is not supported in the Square sandbox. See Testing Mobile Apps for testing recommendations.
- Your version of Reader SDK must adhere to the Square SDK update policy. To limit risk to developers and their users, Square enforces an update policy for Reader SDK that requires developers to keep their version of Reader SDK current.
