    Very efficient and handy to use. Easy to setup! Great for events, on the spot purchases, etc. Size is pocket size and great to attach to phone with double sided tape or keep in pocket or a pouch! This is a must buy if needed.

    I bought this as an update to my old square reader. It looks nearly identical, but it charges more efficiently, using the new C-usb charger, and it holds a charge longer.

    While I had some issues initially getting the reader to sync with my phone, once it was connected it worked very well. Loved that customers can pay just by tapping their phones as well as cards.
