You have to download the app because that’s how your financial transactions happen. Yes it takes debit and credit cards. Not chips though. That’s a different kind of reader. This one is just a swiper.

Q: Do you have to send it to a bank account or can you send it to PayPal? Also with the new iPhone it doesn’t have a earphone jack just a jack adapter would that work?
A: Hi, Jess91! Regarding your question about the Square Credit Card Reader for iPhone, iPad and Android: There is a a Lightning Adapter available from SquareUp which lets you connect the Square Reader to your device via the Lightning port.
