Have you used Square reader?

I'm guessing they will say what is in the screen capture I posted previously.

Where did you get this screenshot? I think I still have to pay $49.99 in California.

Okay, I bought a different product, so it is not qualify for free.

Square is awesome. For what I do it comes out significantly cheaper to take credit/debit than trying to go with a merchant account through the credit card companies and then buy a reader. Instead of a huge monthly bill for having access to the system (probably a better deal if you have hundreds of transactions a week) I only have to pay a per transaction fee with Square. That's a lot cheaper since I'm only a part time photographer who only charges for some of his shoots. There are no hidden fees... all the math and everything else is clearly listed in the documentation and you can accurately predict exactly how much the fee will be each time you make a transaction.

If you had to pay for a reader, it was probably not one of the little ones that plug into a smart phone. It's probably one of the bigger readers that can do cards with chips or some such.

Oh so it isn't a Square Reader?

Dear forum, I bought a Ford Pickup. How come I have to pay for On Star after the first year?

What did you get? This perhaps?

It is still Square reader, just a different model.

I'm not familiar with all their products. But their "newer" little square reader that fits on an iphone through the plug does do chip cards. You can swipe, or if you look at it from above there is a separator between the swiping area and a chip reader.

They have the larger chip one too that you insert the card into. A friend of mine has the regular small square one that can also take chips .. I don't see it on the website though.

You have the Contactless + Chip Reader. The fee is still the same.

Might be about time to update mine, I've been using it for years now. I wasn't aware the small ones can handle chips now... I thought that was something they were still reserving for the readers you had to pay for.

That is supposed to come in the box with the one that tecboy bought. At least according to their site it should have come with one as a backup.

I think everyone is confused. These models I have are not free to sign-up. Only the Magstripe Reader is free.

Did you look at the attachment. That one costs $49.00, the usage fees however are the same as posted.

Yea, like I said before I purchased about $50. I can't sign-up for free hardware.
