    Loved the ease of ordering online from Best Buy and quickly picking up in store! The Item was available the day after I ordered since I ordered at night one store was closed-thank you for saving my pop up market sales! The device of course was easy to use and everything I expected.

    So far no issues working with the card reader. It's nice and compact, it's nice that it both taps and is a chip reader.

    Very user friendly. Although square integrates with our fundraising supplier. Our older Scouts (ages 8-10) were able to use seamlessly. And it helped them to sell more product when they had the option to take cards.

    My glover device was working just fine until one day Mechant services decided my device is too old. They deliberately shut off my device admittedly. So I decided to give square a try. This $50 device does everything my hand held glover did better and faster.

    So for everything is working well. Set up was easy, and pretty straightforward. I set up my items, connected to Bluetooth and I was I have been able to accept cards even with poor reception. The.tap processing is fast and the card insert function works well also.
