Pretty amazing little product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great with the Square app. I set mine up with my bank account to allow people to buy popcorn for a Cub Scout troop. Like the credit card companies square takes a cut of the proceeds (2.75% per swipe). Works really well and it’s easy to use. Square also sends you a daily report on transactions.

Makes plastic easy.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Makes it convenient and easy to collect plastic payments. We use a dedicated tablet to reduce chances of problems with bank info. We have used three for four years with the only problem being if you drop it and break it or lose it.

Perfect for Selling Old Junk
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mainly got on of these to sell my old trading card collection to random strangers. People are a lot more apt to buy from ya if you have multiple methods of payment. Plus the reader comes with a $10 redeem code so it just pays for itself or is just straight up free money if you bought it on sale.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great deal. Husband forgot his square at home when doing a rock show in the area. So thankful that Bestbuy carried this product. Would have cost us almost $1500.00 that day to go without it. Only store in the area that carries what we needed.

Great Mobile Point of Sale
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an Etsy shop and this works for those who would like to pay with credit/debit cards at craft fairs. I actually tested with my own credit card and it worked great. My only complaint would be I can't sync it with my shop. Etsy has a free card reader, but they are hard to get because of high demand.

so great for business
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As an artist, I use this for sale of artwork, cards and books in the studio and at other locations. The perfect easy way to complete business transactions. My receipts are emailed to me; the money goes into the bank. So convenient for customers who tend to buy more when they can use credit cards instead of cash or checks.
