While I had some issues initially getting the reader to sync with my phone, once it was connected it worked very well. Loved that customers can pay just by tapping their phones as well as cards.

Works as advertised, However, the last reader I purchased only lasted 1.5 years. We will see how long this one holds up.

The Square Reader is easy to set up to use on your mobile device with the Square App. It connects quickly and holds a charge well. Much easier to use than the little swipe attachment to your phone.

I bought this as an update to my old square reader. It looks nearly identical, but it charges more efficiently, using the new C-usb charger, and it holds a charge longer.

works as intended and pretty simple to set up. I would only recommend using this if you have a newer phone though. (used this with an iPhone 12 pro and it was a little finicky.)
