Contactless and Chip Payment Reader with Bluetooth for Compatible iPhone and Android Devices – Square 2nd Generation
This second-generation contactless and chip payment reader pairs by Bluetooth with a compatible iPhone or Android device to accept tap payments and inserted chip cards. The Square Reader supports contactless cards, chip cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, giving a mobile seller a compact battery-powered checkout device for counters, events, or transactions away from a fixed register.
Enhanced connectivity helps the reader remain paired to the mobile device, while its included rechargeable lithium-ion battery supports portable use. The service can process supported offline payments for up to 24 hours when the account and transaction meet Square requirements.
