    Must have for Square Users

    These are great for backup when the square readers stop connecting and you are having a busy day. These plug into the charging port, and you can use for cards that have no chip. You just plug in, and go. No connecting other than that! This not only saves you time, but now you don't have to ask customer for billing zip code. Also swiping is cheaper then inputing it yourself! So smart to get one of these even if you think you won't use!

    I needed to upgrade my previous Square reader with headphone jack since my new phone doesn't have a headphone jack. This reader fits perfect in my charging port and connects automatically to the app when it's plugged in. Definitely a step up from the original free version. Super happy with my purchase!

    Good price. Device worked sufficiently for me. Would recommend. Appreciate the assistance provided by the 1st store (they didn't have in stock) to check with another store who did have in stock (they held it for me for pickup--that went smoothly). (Needed quickly, couldn't wait on a delivery.)
