    The Square device connected to my IPad seemlessly which didn't surprise me but hey, better to be lucky than good. The real challenge is setting up everything on the Square application and that is where the work is. I am still waiting on bank verification and my advice to anyone considering this device is to start weeks/months ahead of when you plan on using it because there will be issues with setting up your bank account to use the Square reader.

    As a business owner that uses Square, the chip reader is an absolute must. If you don't use the chip reader and a customer's card is compromised, you (the business) are now responsible for all fraudulent charges. You definitely need to spend the $50. It is very easy to set up and use.

    I used this for an onsite photo shoot for a youth sports team and individual photo session a few weeks ago. While most parents had cash the square reader and app made it easier for my customers to use this cashless system and feel secure about their purchase.

    Square provides a user friendly, easy-to-use platform for taking customer credit card payments. I was set up and running in 30 minutes. The service charge is straightforward. Payments hit my bank in 1-2 days. Best merchant bank service I have used, by far.

    This is very convenient for customers, with the majority opting for the use of the chip reader or contactless payments as opposed to swiping. Safer as well, with responsibility for fraud now on the merchant when swiping chip cards. Fees are reasonable, if not the cheapest on the market.
