    This compact Square not only not only processes payment quickly, but it is small enough to fit in a purse or small bag. A chip reader is needed for all business owners to assist with security and to assist the customer. Please consider this item.

    I bought one of these to replace the plug in reader. Wow what a difference. No more card failed to read errors. You can also accept Apple pay and Google pay with this. I used it all day long for outdoor events and never had the battery die. It works well and quickly. You will love this.

    This product has done me right since I’ve gotten it. It makes charging credit and debit cards so much easier then those other big bulky card readers. Love how it breaks all details step by step and love the new debit square card also so now I can put money in my bank account and square card without any problems. Only down side are the fee they sometimes charge but It still not so bad it worth it if you are trying to get your money as soon as possible into your accounts.

    It is easy to use and install on your mobile device. The size is not cumbersome and portable. I had used square previous but when they did an update my iPad couldn't update and I switched to several services which charged monthly fees w or w/out using. I didn't like having to pay for it. But it feels like it has already paid for itself. I also purchased the charging stand.
