Do your research
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is quick and easy to use, but if you run into any difficulties or account questions, it’s impossible to get a human on the phone. I’m still awaiting responses to multiple phone calls and emails regarding important account information.”going on 7 months of trying to communicate and get some guidance.” Do your research and definitely look into other options that offer small businesses the support they need.

Works so much better than having to use a dongle

Easy way to accept credit cards
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my garage sale to accept credit cards. I was very happy with Square, they make it easy and the fees are minimal. Plus, when I registered my account, I received the $10 back I paid for this reader, so it was basically free. Definitely recommend!

Simple
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the most inexpensive of the Square devices and if it's your first one, they had an offer that essentially made it free. After downloading the app, going online to create an account and link a bank account, I was ready to go. You can customize things on receipts and offer them via SMS or email. I made a couple of trial purchases from myself and it was very simple. The reporting onlineis great, too.

Works great for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great.
