My wife uses this for the craft shows she is a vendor at. The last show 25 percent of her sales were on square, that sales that would have been lost if she was cash only.

The square reader was easy to use and intuitive so we quickly learned how to operate it. Highly recommend the hardware - not wild about Square's take on each swipe.

Had a little trouble keeping it connected at first to my phone. Ended up forgetting, then reattaching through the square app. After that, it has worked really well. So easy, my kids are using it to sell concessions at our school.
Only consideration is if your phone has NFC, you may not need this thing as your phone can connect to cards with the little nfc logo (most cards do these days). However, if you want to use both ApplePay and GooglePay, then this is the reader to get.

I was a little disappointed that the first transaction wasn't free to test the card reader, but the app is well layed out and easy to use and the card reader held charge for a full day. I do recommend a docker or something to hold it as it's a little small and kinda easy to use, but we love it!!!

Intergrated seemlessly with my exsisting set up. Took 2 minutes to get connected, worked great all night. It was great my local BB had these in stock - I was in a pinch and needed a new one for a 500 person event.

After looking over several options for a small business we settled on square. Being able to quickly pick one up from best buy was very convenient. Setup was quick, and easy. We were taking payments shortly after purchase! If you need an easy to usensnf understand credit card solition, i highly recommend this as an option. The best buy staff member who helped us was great as well.

Genuinely very surprised at just how easy this was to set up. Connected to our Android phone easily, we downloaded the Square app, and were up and running. The app is actually surprisingly good as well. Could not be more happy with this!
