    This works very reliably for transactions! I had no issues using this to take payments at a garage sale. The companion app integrates nicely with device and paired easily. I do wish it was heavier so it didn’t move as much when swiped. I guess you could upgrade to the insert and tap version.

    Just upgraded to an iPhone XR and the old square reader wouldn’t work so I needed to upgrade to the one with the lightning connector. Worked seamlessly with the Square app to be able to take credit cards for Girl Scout cookie sales.
