  • Very useful
Style: USB-C
It does it's job very well, it definitely helps a lot to use for a small business. I couldn't figure out how to scan cards at first, but then I realized I was swiping the wrong way. Now it's working perfectly!

  • Highly recommend for any small business owners!
Style: Lightning Connector
Super inexpensive and you get a $10 credit when you sign up for the square app. So worth it especially if you do craft markets and want to offer another way to pay. Good for starting out, saving for the tap one so I can take apple pay in the future!

  • I love it
Style: USB-C
I bought a new phone that didn't have a plug and had to use an adapter cable to use my Square. What a pain that was 🙄 Then I found they made it with the type C and everything has been great. It's super easy to use, so convenient and fast. So glad they made one I could plug directly into my phone again. ... show more

  • Great backup if your customer doesn't have a tap to pay card
Style: USB-C
I only use this when I have a customer who has a card that doesn't have the tap to pay function. Or if one that does is being problematic and doesn't seem to want to work. So I don't use it very often but the times that I have at his work flawlessly and I'm definitely glad I got it for those situations. I think for the price it's kind of a non-brainer to keep one if you're taking cards constantly because you never know when a chip or tap to pay might not work, and mag stripe swipe is your only option. ... show more
