With this device I am now able to take my business anywhere I go. And as a body worker I sometimes have impromptu sessions that have me out of my studio. But with a simple tap, swipe or insert of a debit or credit card I am now able to earn revenue wherever my clients may need me to go. And Sorry, don’t have any cash on me or wish I could give you more is a thing of the past. This device is super easy to setup and to be able to use it with my iPhone 8 Plus, Samsung Note 9 and my iPad Pro is incredible. The company does take a small percentage per transaction but it’s so worth it. Tip**Never enter the card number manually. They will take a bigger percentage from that transaction. So if you can swipe it, tap it or insert it to save you some coins. Every coin counts, especially in these economic times that we are having** And from completed to transaction to available funds in your bank account, my experiences has been less than 24 hours. It will all be based on your own banking institution. Purchase this device and begin seeing your revenue grow even higher.

This product was easy to set up and start using. The contactless option is helpful so customers do not have to touch the reader or sign my phone when processing their bills. Even the chip reader works quickly for fast check outs. You can customize the app on your phone to choose items that you sell or services that you offer. It is a great way to track what you are selling.

This new card reader is so much better than the "swiper" that must be connected to your phone or pad. It works so much better, quicker, and easier for all involved.

Was surprised how quick and easy it was to set up. Easily synced with both my devices. It comes with both the plug in card swiper and the wireless chip reader/dip/tap. I opted for next day deposit to not pay an extra percentage and money was in my account fast. I gained 2 customers at shows so far that would have left w/o purchasing until I said I accepted credit cards.

Seems good. The app is wonky at times. Works 80% of the time and the other i spend a lot of time trying to get it up and going to use again. Aside the app, the hardware seems good. Battery lasts all day. I only have to charge it for about an hour before i get to use it all day.

The 2.75 fees are high but everything works as advertised. I used it to sell miscellaneous goods (Craigslist, Let's Go) on a Friday and money was in the bank Monday. If you want your funds on the same day. You have to set up up a debit card and that's another 1% interest. If you add all interest to items being sold, it's still cheaper to the consumer than them going to a store and paying state or local taxes. This was a good purchase. Works great at flea markets, food stands..ect. Some reviews on websites claim they don't like the customer service. I really don't see why they need customer service. All chip or credit swipes show instant to the consumers debit or credit card. Make sure you have the latest update for the app and make sure your iPhone is updated.

This is one of the easiest products I’ve ever used! You have to set it up and link it with your bank account. Then every night it deposits your money into your bank account and I get an email notification of all transactions!

I use this for my business as it is quick, easy, and convenient. I also use it for my charity to accept payments and donations when at different events so it’s very mobile and small so easy to travel with. Set up is easy. I use with both with my iPhone as we’ll as iPad. Also works with android devices.

Now that there are more phones eliminating the headphone jack, the need for Bluetooth card readers are becoming more popular. Square's system is super easy and very user friendly. This is about the size of a pack of gum and was easy to setup. Even easier if you are a square payment processor already

I needed a mobile payment device fro my business. The wireless chip reader module is great, especially when my phone is connected to a wireless network. The package includes the stripe reader too, so it was a much better deal than just the stripe reader alone.
The traditional Square stripe reader is zippy fast, regardless. It's a trade off between speed of transaction and transaction security. It was easy to set up and worked perfectly after the wireless module was fully charged.
Highly recommend it.

I love square and moved to an iPhone no more headphone jack option so upgraded my card reader to this. It was so easy to set up to my phone it has a good battery life and works so easy as a chip reader I think it’s better than the swipe method.
