@blandolfi44 Hello! Are you looking to scan customer's credit card information, or add a customer profile tp your Customer database? It's not possible to do the former but we have a solution for the latter! 

With Square's Customer Directory feature - after you take a payment from a customer an Instant Profile can be created. If Square can read the customer's name from the card - and a profile doesn't already exist for that customer - a  new customer profile will automatically be created for that customer. This should save you time!

If an Instant Profile isn't created you can manually create a customer profile before or after a sale.
