    Everything on the device is pretty neat. Obviously fees always come on charges that is unavoidable, but to recieve payments by cards is pretty good for my painting business if a client can’t give a check or cash.

    The Bluetooth chip reader worked flawlessly at a major show, allowing us accept be the latest ( and most secure) chip cards with ease. The swipe reader allowed us to accommodate those whose banks or credit unions who still had not upgraded to the chip cards. Note that it's not actually necessary to buy the swipe reader separately, as one is included with the purchase of the chip reader.

    I had the old square reader on my iPhone 6. After upgrading to the iPhone 7 Plus, I still needed to use Square but didn't want to carry a dongle. This has been the perfect help for running a bookstore.

    This product has helped us sell more cub scout popcorn. It makes it very convenient for [most] people who don't carry cash to obtain our products. We have been using square for a long time and the addition of the chip reader and the option for people to use tap pay is just great. The battery life is wonderful and having the reader connected through Bluetooth is is just icing on the cake. Overall, I think that this device help make sales better and less of hassle.
