Your mobile chip-and-PIN reader

Skip the PIN for speed
For applicable transactions under $35, you can securely skip PIN entry to speed up the transaction and serve customers faster.
Secure and precise payments
Small chip, big security
When a chip card is used at checkout, the chip authenticates the card by talking back and forth in real time with Square Reader and your bank. For added security, information is never stored on your device after a payment has been processed.
Process transactions with precision
With Square Reader and the Square Point of Sale app, you’ll get a point of sale with fully integrated payments processing. This means you can accurately accept payments every time and avoid the costly keying errors that come with non-integrated terminals.
Insert the chip.
Square Reader has two slots—so no matter what type of card your customer is carrying, you’ll never miss a payment. Read chip cards with the front slot, and let customers enter their PIN securely on your device.
Swipe the stripe.
Need to accept international credit cards? No worries. Swipe magnetic-stripe cards with the rear slot. Customers sign for their transactions securely, right on your device.
Accept tap-and-go cards and devices
