I do events and my square gen 1 stopped connecting and flashing weird light combos. Forgot about it when I got home but needed another within 2 days. Not an Amazon prime member and would have been very expensive to ship. Walmart had it same price and I had it next day!

I run a small business with a partner. We only had 1 reader, so he always had to be the one traveling to make collections. Now, either of us can do collections.
Thanks for your feedback, Chris! We're glad the reader has made it easier for both you and your partner to manage collections. We appreciate your support!

Super easy to set up charges really fast makes a sound that lets users know that the transaction went through and the cord is around 25 watts and the design is small and can fit and tighten space is easy
