Square Contactless Card Reader (2nd generation) – Take

I purchased this to use in our greenhouse in the spring. We had the ipad stand with the card swipe at the bottom. Sometimes it was difficult to swipe cards, sometimes the cards did not go through – our location is in a valley and it seemed the weather was a factor on how quickly transactions went through. After starting to use this device, talk about much quicker transactions! A tap payment was crazy fast, chip a bit slower but very fast! It does not come with the dock, I purchased that separately. You can use without the dock, and in our situation it was probably better without it b/c we could go outside with ipad, select items and have customers tap/insert card without having them come back inside greenhouse for payment. But once I installed the dock, I was unable to get the device out of it, I actually sliced my finger trying to remove it, so it stayed in the dock! Overall a good purchase and made our transactions much easier!
