  • Perfect backup and inexpensive insurance for days at the market.
Style: USB-C
Worked right out the box. We have several other square readers and terminals and picked this one up as a backup just incase we have issues with the other ones. It is quick and no issues using it with a case installed on my phone.

  • Great for small business owners!
Style: USB-C
Got this for my bf for his detailing business, customers can pay way faster rather than sending Venmo or Zelle. It’s super fast almost no lag! Quality is great too. Would recommend for small business owners.

  • Plugs in and works right away!
Style: USB-C
Works great so far when used have no issues with this device! It plugs into the bottom of your phone and no problem with it taking long to connect. Only works for the magstrip which is fine because if you have tap to pay you can take payments to your phone that way
