    I was missing out on sales at local craft shows because I only dealt in cash and I was afraid a credit card reader would be expensive and difficult to use. A neighboring crafter showed me how it worked and how much it cost so I bought one that evening at Best Buy and was up and running the next day with no issues or problems. The unit paid for itself in one day, I love it and thank you Best Buy for the help and information you provided when I made the purchase.

    I really didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised with the simplicity and ease of use. My wife & I have a small business and our now former credit card device was a magstripe reader. We needed a device that would accept chip card payments & found the best one in the Square reader. It accepts chip card payments (easily) and contactless payments (which we haven't used yet). This product also includes a magstripe reader so we can still take payments from people who don't have chip cards. This is the best option available.

    The square reader works great. I like its size and light weight. Also enjoyable is that when I purchased it, the cost was less than if I had purchased directly from square. If you need to accept credit cards and/or Apple & Google pay, then I recommend the square reader. Once purchased, I only pay the square fee charged on each purchase ONLY when I accept a payment - there's no ongoing monthly fees to pay. I've
