Square Error: Square Reader Connection Error - reader_settings_sdk_not_authorized

All SuitePOS terminals have to be authorized once (on a fresh install or when you change Square accounts) Before you can connect a Square Reader. This is so the Square Reader SDK (which accesses your Square Reader) can authenticate correctly. Failure to do this will result in a Square Reader error.  

In order to Authorize Square, you will need to perform a manual Settings Sync and toggle the Authorize Square button to on. This will then invoke the authorization workflow where you will enter your Square backend credentials and authenticate. You then should be able to connect to the Square Reader.
