Q: What is a lightning connector? Do I need to buy one or is this included?

Did not work

It took several swipes, maybe like 50 for it to finally grab the credit card. Will be returning. App is pretty good.
1 reply from Square team - 4 years ago
We are sorry to hear the frustration regarding your reader. They should recognize the card on the first swipe, so it sounds like either the magstripe on the card was worn down or the reader itself needed some troubleshooting. We would love to work with you to make sure you're up and running. Feel free to reach out to us via email, phone, in app messenger, or social media!

I purchased two of them for my dad's estate sale that we ran last weekend. The % that they take for the transaction is so much better than worrying if a check is going to go through! They worked GREAT!

Yeah, it works with iPhone 10!!

At first I didn’t think it worked but I slowed down and ok. I thought it read the gold tag but no. I am thankful Target had this at such an affordable price!
