    • Highly recommend

My 2nd generation square chip readers have been working phenomenal! I've had it for a few months now and it has been a great benefit to the business! There few things to learn about operating it but it's very straight forward!

    • Great device with extremely easy setup
Style: 2nd generation
I ordered this device for the high school soccer concessions sales. It was amazingly easy to set up using the simple instructions that came in the box. The device requires the firmware to be updated as soon as you connect to it via Bluetooth. In addition, make sure your iphone-->settings-->square-->Local Network is enabled before you start. It's easy to remediate but easier if you do it upfront before starting. As soon as I tested it successfully, I ordered another one for the team. I also ordered a Belkin USB-C device for faster charging. Belkin makes a great device. However, make sure you get the USB-A to USB-C charger. I ordered the wrong one the first time because I couldn't see both ends of the charging cable that came with the Square contactless reader. Fortunately, I needed another one of those for our personal use so all turned out well anyway. :) ... show more

    • Works great
Style: 2nd generation
Needed to upgrade the card reader from the old lighting model and this worked great. The wireless feature makes use a breeze and the versatility of the swipe vs touch vs chip makes it very convenient. It works fast and the pairing was super simple with the instructions

Square spares no expense when it comes to packaging their hardware. Even the $15 dock for this item came packaged really well. The reader is well made and very sturdy. It feels like opening a high dollar Apple product with the robust box. The only issue I have come across is that pairing to another device such as another phone/tablet has to be done manually by pushing the little button on the bottom of the device. The button is recessed to stop accidentally pushing it, however, this makes it require two hands to press it, making it where you have to lay your other device down to push the button. As for connection range between the bluetooth card reader and your device running the Square App, you can expect roughly 20-25ft before the card reader is no longer able to communicate with the Square App. The card/chip reader does auto reconnect to the last used device, making using it on one device pretty straight forward and reliable. The only issue I can see at the time of writing this review is that your customers might be concerned about popping their charge card in a handheld device that is not familiar to them. People trust cell phones/tablets more then a pocket sized device they have never seen before. ... show more

    • Makes transactions easier.
Style: 2nd generation
My old square started to have problems. Of course after I bought this one the old one started working. Anyway back to my purchase. This square is a great size for travel and super easy to use. Holds a charge all day. I do craft shows and have not had any problem using it for a solid 9 hours. The size is convenient at about 2" square by 1/4" thick. I am glad I purchased it. ... show more
