Tips for Using Your Chip Card Reader
For general reader care, check both card slots frequently to make sure they stay free of debris.
To save battery, remove the reader from your device when you’re not accepting payments. The reader will not charge when it’s plugged into your device, even if your device is connected to a power source.
Charge your reader every night.
For faster charging, connect the USB charging cable to a grounded outlet or power source.
Troubleshoot Your Chip Card Reader
The following steps typically take care of most reader issues:
Remove any case or cover from your device. Some cases prevent the reader from plugging in completely.
Update to the latest version of the Square app.
Make sure you’re using a supported device.
Unplug the reader and plug it back in while the Square app is open.
Delete and reinstall the Square app. See Apple or Google support for instructions.
Plug the reader into a power source, leave it for 1-5 minutes, and then plug it back into the device.
If you see “Please try inserting again, chip could not be read,” remove the card and insert it again until you hear a click. Keep the card in place until the payment completes.
If you see the message “Reader Damaged,” the reader is broken and you’ll need to request a new one.
If you’re using an Apple device, make sure the audio volume balance is exactly in the middle. To check, visit your device’s settings, tap General Accessibility. Scroll down to the hearing section and move the “audio volume balance” directly in the middle.
If you’re using an Android device, make sure that any audience enhancement features (such as One M8, Clari-fi, or Beats Bass Boost) are turned off - they can disrupt the connection between your reader and device.
If you see the error message, “Register needs VoiceOver to be turned off,” go to your device settings and tap General, Accessibility, VoiceOver and turn off VoiceOver. This may also be “S Voice” or “Talkback” on your device. If that doesn’t do the trick, turn off Mono Audio from your device settings.
If you’ve tried all the troubleshooting steps and you’re still having issues, submit a warranty claim.

I'm about to start selling at my first ever market stall in a few weeks time and I was feeling really nervous until I watched your video. Thank you so much. It's not as complicated as I first thought.

[@alexmills1545]

Do you have to have a library or list of products to have a purchase or can you just type in the amount they owe without the menu options?

[@anthonyg54]

Square now charges standard processing fee for accidental charge with immediate refund. Then charges processing fee for correct charge after accidental charge (in other words twice ) . make sure you enter correct amount

[@simmssherry176]

[@leewright415]

Great video. I have been overwhelmed with the thought of getting a card reader. I have in the past missed sales due to customers not having venmo/zelle etc. So i think im going to get the same as shown in the video. In the app are you able to record different inventory and stock amounts?

[@Japan-.-sashimicom]

Hi Thank you for your info., All credit cards accept the payments? ¥ ¢ € $ ?

[@INTJATarot]

Can you set up multipule businesses on the app to accept payments?

[@TomsProductReviews]

If you have multiple businesses or need individual separate accounts, you have the ability to create multiple accounts and use the same mobile device, reader and bank account.

[@maxrayman]

Cheers Buddy, gonna get one

[@issynegoll3891]

Can you buy this if your business isn’t a real business? like if my daughter were to set up a booth at a fair to sell art

How do you ensure that tax and shipping cost is added to each order

[@alameergasdistributors655]

Can we use it in UAE DUBAI

[@alysonmichaud1193]

Do you need wifi to run the app?

[@koolaidpuc]

So the bank account that you link the app with, is suppose to be a business banking account and not your personal bank account right? If it’s a business bank, that means that you would need to open one first, wether it’d be a corporate or sole property business account.

[@rhondarenfro7665]

Is this true in the U.S.?

[@lmbob703]

Can you not link it to a personal current account?

[@katec9893]

If you're a sole trader you can use a current account. I think you need a business account if you own a Ltd company but best to check online or with a business adviser or accountant to make sure.

can you use multiple phones on the card reader?

[@DrStephanie72]

Yes you can. My son helps me at events sometimes and he uses his phone. I needed to give him access to my Square account but it was easy-peasy.

[@neoloanderson6676]

[@seanduenas8684]

[@terryconstanti1187]

[@ellenbarronoreilly5632]

What if someone is in another state or not present to tap the card? Can you manually input their credit info?

[@TomsProductReviews]

Yeah they can do that within the app on your mobile device

[@arafmohammed6055]

Is there any way to use something like this to accept money from friends and family?

[@DrStephanie72]

Yes, they only need a credit/debit card…doesn’t need to be attached to a business purchase. 😊

Since you are clearly ignorant, they need your infi, personal, banking to have a place for the funds to go, the percentage is standard with any company that accept cards on your behalf ,its a service
