Square - A-SKU-0047 Reader for magstripe (with headset jack)

No funciona para México, porque square lo está vendiendo?

You need a attachment if you own a iphone

Square spares no expense when it comes to packaging their hardware. Even the $15 dock for this item came packaged really well. The reader is well made and very sturdy. It feels like opening a high dollar Apple product with the robust box. The only issue I have come across is that pairing to another device such as another phone/tablet has to be done manually by pushing the little button on the bottom of the device. The button is recessed to stop accidentally pushing it, however, this makes it require two hands to press it, making it where you have to lay your other device down to push the button. As for connection range between the bluetooth card reader and your device running the Square App, you can expect roughly 20-25ft before the card reader is no longer able to communicate with the Square App. The card/chip reader does auto reconnect to the last used device, making using it on one device pretty straight forward and reliable. The only issue I can see at the time of writing this review is that your customers might be concerned about popping their charge card in a handheld device that is not familiar to them. People trust cell phones/tablets more then a pocket sized device they have never seen before.

This square reader only works with the tap feature. It will not swipe debit or credit cards that have a chip. I did troubleshooting through support, and the app wouldn’t allow me to turn on the swipe chip cards feature. Something to do with security. You can manually put in amounts if people don’t have the tap feature on their credit card, but you will be charged more by square. You need to buy another additional device to insert cards for contactless or chip reader. (Small 3x3 inch or so in size) I think the specifications need to be more clear on this in the description.

Works great
