    It came in handy at times but didn’t often use it because it failed me twice and I had to key in the card and take more of a hit on transaction fees

      Really sorry you had this experience with your Contactless + Chip reader. We'd recommend always making sure the app is up to date to make sure the reader is always running smoothly. Also check to make sure your device is tested/compatible with it at: squ.re/compatibility. SquareAU

    It works sometimes. Needs a lot of charging. Stopped using it because of excessive charging and disconnection issues.

      It should hold a charge for at least a full day as long as it isn't left on the charger overnight often. Leaving it charged overnight or for past it's full charge can deplete the battery. We'd recommend checking out this troubleshooting from our Support Center as well: squ.re/ContactlessTips. SquareAU

    It all works great, but the swipe reader has to have a headphone jack input, and most of the phone are missing that now.

      We also offer a lightning magstripe reader for iPhones with no headphone jacks. The Contactless reader is wireless and works with most devices and is best for processing chipped cards. SquareAU

    Not compatible with new iPhone

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    When I got the new iPhone I thought this would be all I need since I can no longer put a jack in my phone. I feel like it’s overpriced, $40 more than the ones I have always used before, and I still have to manually type in non chip cards. I wouldn’t recommend it if you have an new iPhone. If you do have the jack to plug in you still have two separate things to keep up with.

      It sounds like your device/tablet might not be compatible. You can check the compatibility at: squ.re/compatibility. If it's not listed, that means it is not tested and would not be compatible with our readers unfortunately. SquareAU

    I downloaded the app for this device, and I returned this item back to the store once I started reading their reviews, bad experiences from the customers, the people using this device stated there’s no customer service phone numbers, everyone that has issues has to email, and wait until the company gets back at them.. I can’t afford to pay for a day or weekend of renting a space to sale my items and this device giving me problems and then not being able to get it fix.. the worst story a lady wanted to make extra money for the Holidays for her children and the company decided to put a hold on her payoff for 2 months? I don’t think so... honestly no one should be part of the sale on this device
