    Purchased the square contactless & chip reader for my business. Used it within days of receiving it. It worked without any problems. I would suggest this reader to anyone accepting credit/debit cards in person.

    Love my Square Reader! The contactless reader makes paying by phone a breeze. For those that don't pay by phone, the chip reader works great as well. Customers love the ease and convenience of the product!

    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 bought this to allow me to offer credit card sales at the craft shows that I sell at. I was very hesitant to start taking credit cards, however, after so many people asking if I took cards and losing sales, I decided to go ahead and do it. This little Square reader is the perfect size and works great with my smartphone or my tablet. And my sales increased substantially! Highly recommend.

    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.
