Only Squares newest hardware has all the latest bitcoin options like the customer facing screen and ₿ toggle and nfc tap to pay w/ compatible wallets like

My older hardware has Bitcoin payments ( which are all default lightning ) but I had to enable them. As a result under the payment options screen there is a Bitcoin tab and it presents a qr code.

If the merchant has the older ipad swivel hardware and did not enable payments yet that option won't be present.
Anyone know how A CUSTOMER can pay with the lightning network with square?

The UI just had a pointer of where to tap (NFC) and there to enter a credit card (chip). Tapping all over the screen did not have any effect.

I just paid cash to not cause a scene.

Does this mean they explicitly disabled lightning payments? If not, is there anything that *I* can press on the screen to pay via ln?

Please don't reply suggesting that I "just have the shopkeep do xyz". They are not going to cooperate.
