Chip reader not working?

I bought the contactless and chip reader for doing craft fairs.  I used it one day and now it will not connect to the app nor will it read cards.  Anyone have any ideas.  It worked once.

You have to connect from within the app, not the bluetooth settings on your device, though bluetooth must be turned on of course.

Bluetooth was on, and I connected via the app.  The chip reader and the stripe reader would not connect even when connected direct to the phone via the speaker plug.  I use an Android Samsung S21 if that helps.

Sorry to hear about the frustrating experience, @MysticWoods! If you've already gone through these troubleshooting steps with your reader, your reader might be faulty. When this happens, you can order a replacement via our online warranty form here.
