    This worked great, I bought it as I was selling some of my stuff at a collectables show and it helped me get more sales that I normally wouldn't have been able to make if I only accepted cash. It was easy to link to phone app, had no problems with being able to take payments and the money automatically transferred to my linked bank account within a few days.

    Best on the market

    Why are credit card processing companies so shady? In addition to monthly statement fees and other misc. costs, I used to pay fees to lease my merchant processing equipment. I would've switched sooner, but I was locked into a 24 month contract. Now, do I wish the swipe fee was closer to 2% vs. the 2.75% that they currently charge? Yes. But it's still way better than the alternatives on the market. I've been very happy with the Square app -- surprisingly, it gets updates pretty often on both iOS and Android platforms. I figured that they would've been less active on the Android side, but that's not been the case. If I were to have a complaint about this particular reader, it's that I find that the bluetooth connection has terminated overnight. It's just a pain to have to re-pair every morning.
