Hi there.  I have a charity event this friday and I went to install my new chip reading square and it says the reader is permanently broken.  How do I replace this in a hurry?  My charity event is 3 days!  Please help!!!

Hey @VC, great question.

 

It depends on which reader you choose for your business:

  • Magstripe Reader — $10.00 (Reimbursable for new sellers who haven't ordered a magstripe reader before.) 

  • Chip Card Reader — $29.00

  • Contactless and Chip Card Reader — $49.00

Find complete details on each reader's features in our Support Center. Hope this Helps!

Here's a link to Square's shopping page.  You can navigate from there to whichever reader you want to order.  You don't need to worry about it connecting to your account - just attach it to your device and you will be good to go.  The reader itself doesn't connect to your account, the device it's attached to does.
