    Very useful! Although if your phone has an NFC reader it’s basically the same thing, but this at least allows swipes and inserts. App is very user friendly as well.

    I purchased a “square” to use at an auction for a nonprofit. I set it up quickly, without difficulties. It was easy to download the app and put in our information. We were able to create categories making our reporting very easy! It was very easy to use.

    Pretty simple to use with your square app. I like it better than the tiny swiper you stick in the phone. Set up was 30 seconds, already came charged for people like me who forget that I needed a credit card swiper a mere hour before my event.
