How do I get a square reader for my phone?

I need a card reader for my phone

You can pick them up at local appliance shops like Best Buy or quickly on Amazon but you can also get them shipped directly from Square - this guide will show you the difference in the basic readers. We prefer the contactless/chip reader for accuracy and speed with all of the new touch to tap payments from cards, phones, watches, etc.  I hope this helps!

 have Android, Samsung 8+. I've been a happy Square user for 3 years! I do local vendor events weekly.

I ordered the small card reader from Sam's online, Square sells it too. It's like a 2" little square box. I got a case on Amazon. It can be used as Touchless, tap & go OR Mag strip reader. It connects right to the Square app! It came with the little plug into your phone device, which is good for backup but a pain if you have a case on phone... have to remove case to use plug in

Hope this helps!

Amazon & Best Buy & Target have them! Make sure you choose the correct one for your phone. Bring the charger for your phone if you need it so you can be sure to grab the correct one.

Hi @Kathy70!

All of the responses below are correct, but if you have an iPhone, you can also utilize the new "tap to pay on iPhone" feature!
