Hi @Mido - thanks for reaching out to us here on the Seller Community! 

 

I've gone ahead and merged your post into an existing thread of Sellers who were also looking for information regarding ordering a free Reader.

 

All new users are given the chance to order a free Magstripe Reader during the activation process.

When you have a chance, please try ordering this way:

Visit this page > "Send me a reader" > Select Connectivity > complete checkout process.

Let us know if that gets you where you need to be!

Hi @Joe 

I followed your steps and in the checkout i was asked to put my credit card info to pay the $10 for the reader.

I am located in Canada, is it only free in the US?

 

Thank you.

I just signed up for an account. Does my card reader ship automatically, if not how do I request one? When I go to my dashboard I just see the option to order one for $10. Thanks!

From the dashboard you can click on Accounts & Settings > Square Accessories > Order A reader.  You can choose from the free magstrip reader or one of their other options that would best suit your needs.

I saw online that square was offering a free card read, so i signed up and when it took me to the window to select my "free" card reader, it wanted $49.00 or $10. So i hit skip for now. 

Im trying to find where the free one is? thanks:)
