Great price for a great device

I purchased this Square reader to take card payments at events. It worked perfectly! I chose Walmart because of the price. Arrived on time and packaged well. At my first event, 2/3 of my sales were with card and I made more than double what I did at my last event.

works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was using swipe square reader (via headphone jack) on my android phone for craft shows. This reader is far easier to use. It is quicker and connects easily to my phone using bluetooth and rhe square app I already had installed. No problem ringing up sales and used VERY little battery power on my phone or the reader. The reader can be charged using USB.
