QuestionIf a card has no chip are able to swipe?
Asked 7 years ago by Josh.
- Answer Yes, as per Square's website, if a card is not chip enabled, you can swipe the card with the mag stripe reader that is included in the box. Furthermore, you are protected as long as you are swiping a card without a chip, whereas, if you swiped a card that IS chip enabled, you would be liable.

QuestionCan you have the mag stripe reader plugged in when using the chip reader? Just so you don't have to keep plugging in and out?
Asked 7 years ago by ahurt.
- Answer Yes you can. We use this for craft fairs and shows and it will take input from either reader. The chip reader is connected by bluetooth so they can both be connected at the same time.

Asked 7 years ago by BrittB.
- Answer You have to have internet to process the transaction, but this device uses blue tooth or a direct connect to the device. You can set it to offline processing and then batch them when you have internet, but may get stiffed if you do it that way

QuestionCan the chip card reader be charged by using an adapter plugged in to household current that provides a USB outlet port ?
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes - the reader comes with a charging cable that will plug into USB port on computer, AC powered USB power source, or external phone battery charger. We have had the reader run for at least a full day of pretty constant use on one charge.

QuestionCan you use the Square - Reader with multiple phones?
Asked 4 years ago by Eboni.
- Answer Hey Eboni. The Square reader can be used with multiple devices, but it only connects with one device at a time. To connect your reader to another device, make sure to disconnect it from its current device. To do so, visit your in-app Settings > tap Square Reader > select your reader from the list > tap Forget this Reader twice to confirm.

QuestionCan you take payment manually if client is out of state?
Asked 3 years ago by Mondo.
- Answer Yes you can. You just have to use the Square app for that, you don’t actually need this card reader for what you’re trying to do. In the Square all, you can either manually enter the CC number, or send them an invoice that they can pay through Square.

Questionis the square compatable with all Samsung phones
Asked 6 years ago by ronzdesignbs.
- Answer Not all of Samsung's phones are supported by Square anymore, though we do our best to reach all devices. Square will run on most Android devices with the following features: Android v5 or higher 3.5 mm headset jack (which includes a microphone input) GPS There are several thousand Android devices on the market, and we strive to support them all. In some cases, however, the Android device may meet all the requirements for compatibility but still doesn’t communicate properly with Square hardware or with the app. To check and see if your device is supported, visit the device compatibility page: squareup.com/compatibility
