Do your research
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is quick and easy to use, but if you run into any difficulties or account questions, it’s impossible to get a human on the phone. I’m still awaiting responses to multiple phone calls and emails regarding important account information.”going on 7 months of trying to communicate and get some guidance.” Do your research and definitely look into other options that offer small businesses the support they need.

Good for garage sale
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works very reliably for transactions! I had no issues using this to take payments at a garage sale. The companion app integrates nicely with device and paired easily. I do wish it was heavier so it didn’t move as much when swiped. I guess you could upgrade to the insert and tap version.
