Can be quick and efficient, but may experience drops or difficulties.

The Bottom Line
The Square Reader remains the "gold standard" for small business owners and mobile vendors who need a reliable, sleek, and incredibly easy-to-use payment solution. However, for a device that essentially only "reads" the card and requires a separate smartphone or tablet to function, the upfront cost can feel steep—especially when compared to Square's free magstripe reader.
The Pros
• Seamless Setup: You can go from unboxing to taking your first payment in under five minutes. The Bluetooth pairing is consistent and stable.
• Modern Payment Support: It handles EMV chips and NFC (Apple Pay, Google Pay) effortlessly, which is essential as fewer customers carry physical cards or want to swipe.
• Battery Life: The 2nd Gen model has impressive longevity, often lasting a full day of heavy sales on a single charge.
• Portability: It's pocket-sized and professional-looking, making it perfect for pop-ups, markets, or service providers on the go.
The Cons
• High Upfront Cost: At $59, it's a significant jump from the free (or $10) magstripe reader. For a device that doesn't have a screen or a built-in printer, the price feels high for what is essentially a peripheral.
• Processing Fees: While there are no monthly fees, the standard rate of 2.6%   $0.15 per transaction can eat into margins for businesses with many small-ticket items.
• Limited Utility: It does one thing well (read cards), but you are still tethered to your phone. If your phone dies or the app glitches, the reader becomes a paperweight.
• No Magstripe Slot: If a customer has a damaged chip or an old card, you have to use a separate (often free) magstripe reader or key it in manually at a much higher fee.
Final Verdict
If you need to accept Apple Pay and chip cards to keep your business modern, this is a good product that won't let you down. However, Square is definitely charging a premium for the convenience and the brand. If you only process a few transactions a month, it might take a while for the hardware to pay for itself.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

Bought this a replacement for an older style reader we deopped in water and ruined it. Have not tested it yet I will add to the review once we use it next weekend.

Squar reader Ver 2

I upgraded to this tap square reader and it was an absolute game changer. It allowed us to check customers out very quickly. I highly recommend this reader.

Tap Square Reader

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

Useful and easy to set up/connect to my phone. Now I don't nee to get a new phone device to accept tap pay, apple, etc!

Useful for Business Transactions!

product works well. no isdues so far. easy setup

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased the Square Reader before. However it was through a different website. I was happy that I didn't have a limit on the number of Squares that I could purchase.

It only worked a week, I am returning it today, purchased another one from Walmart and it also only worked a couple weeks that is why I bought this last one. I am returning both today.

Did last a week

Item was sold in PR an even though we are an US territory does not work here. Setup was also a nightmare.

Does not work for US territories.
