    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 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.

    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.
