    Needed this as my business is going contactless. Its small but feels high quality. I love that it came with an extra credit card reader as well. (The type you swipe and the plugs into your headphone jack)

    I love square. I love how the old reader was tiny and easy to use. This new reader is bigger and bulkier, but with security being such a HUGE deal these days...I love how it reads chips accurately and quickly. I never have to worry about fraud as much as I used to.

    Most vendors want to sell this Square for $50. It was less expensive at Best Buy. It works well. I don’t like using the swipe method because that offers no protection for you. I have had no issue with the connectivity to my iPhone XS.

    A little pricey compared to the Lightning reader, but works like a charm and now I don't have to worry about the switch to USB-C!

    Purchased the Square as a backup to our company POS just in case the internet was out. Bam! The next day, the local internet provider had a problem and we were still able to operate our business and collect money.

    At first I was reluctant to purchase this, but my son talked me into it. It has helped our business during this pandemic & has let us open our business to more forms of payments with no contact.
