Gives more options for customers to buy things at craft fairs. And easy to use for someone who is not tech savvy.

works as intended and pretty simple to set up. I would only recommend using this if you have a newer phone though. (used this with an iPhone 12 pro and it was a little finicky.)

The Square Reader is easy to set up to use on your mobile device with the Square App. It connects quickly and holds a charge well. Much easier to use than the little swipe attachment to your phone.

Square Reader - Good But Batttery limited

The Square Reader works for about 2 - 3 hours on battery before needing to be recharged. It only works when Cell Service/WIFI service is available. It does permit tap, or Swipe of Credit Cards, and software accepts manual entry.
Unit is moderately priced, and better than the scan swipe, however if you're just getting started, and are budget constrained, you might start with the plug-in swipe only device.
Given today's battery advancements, Square should look to improve the battery life on a full charge to 8 - 12 hours.
