  • solid purchase!
Style: USB-C
I was a little disappointed to see that the car reader doesn't use tap but the app connects tap indirectly to the card reader so it still works out. This was super easy to connect and I was surprised about how cheap it is. The card reader doesn't have the sturdiest build it definitely serves its purpose. ... show more

  • Very handy for online marketplace sellers!
Style: USB-C
Why did you pick this product vs others?: FINALLY - I stopped using Square for several years since smartphones stopped having the aux ports available for my old style card reader. Setup was easy and shows up instantly as detected by the Square app when I plug it in. This has made online marketplace transactions so much easier if a customer doesnt have enough cash or exact change with them. I definitely recommend these! Card reader: Comes in handy ... show more
