    • Easy to use, however app set-up is LONG
Style: Lightning Connector
This has been working great. I do acknowledge it's kind of my fault I didn't read/understand it was for stripe swipes only. But I still get LOTS of sales. I don't even mind the small fee it charges me, although it was a PAIN to find out what that fee actually was. In addition, the app and the set-up process for LONG. But once it is set-up it's so far been extremely easy to use at my Crafter Shows. ... show more

    • Great for small business
Style: Lightning Connector
This works great!!! It is so easy to install! I used it for a bread stand. It just pops in the charging port on your phone and you get the app! I think it is totally worth the money and I would highly recommend it!
