    This square reader is so much easier to use that my old one that I would plug into my cell phone. It is making taking payments so much simpler.

    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!

    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.

    This is so much better than the card reader that you insert into your phone and faster. I don't know why I didn't purchase this reader sooner. Its great to have when I do pop up markets, quick and easy check out for me and my customers.

    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.

    We pretty much own and use everything in the Square world. For our mobile store, we have multiple registers, but for a quick sale, this is contactless reader is the best. Seemlessly connects to your mobile device through the Square app. We keep one in the truck, cuz you never know when somthing's going to sell!

    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.
