Since we launched Square Reader in Australia, we’ve seen business owners across the country quickly adopt the smallest, most mobile and most affordable credit and debit card reader available in the local market. We’ve also heard many of the reasons you’re looking for a simpler solution.
“My old EFTPOS terminal went down last week. I had a whole morning where I couldn’t accept credit or debit cards, because I was too busy with customers to get in touch with my provider,” a local coffee shop owner told us. “Even when I did, they couldn’t send me a replacement for 48 hours. That was two days with no card payments.”
This wasn’t the first time we’d heard this feedback. So making sure Square tools are accessible and affordable to businesses across Australia is important to us. That’s why Square Reader is available in almost 1,000 retail stores across the country — including Officeworks, Apple, Harvey Norman, JB Hi-FI and Optus.
How does Square Reader work?
Square’s credit card reader works with the free Square Point of Sale app to let everyone accept swipe payments on their smartphone or tablet. Square Reader safely and securely accepts contactless cards, chip and PIN cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Because Square Reader connects to your device, you can make sales from anywhere you need to be, even if you lose internet connection.
No matter what kind of business you run, learn more about how Square Reader can help you easily take payments anywhere you sell.
Where can I buy Square Reader?
You can purchase Square Reader online, with free shipping anywhere in Australia.
You can also visit your local Officeworks, Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Costco, Bunnings, Office Choice, and Total Tools. We recommend giving the store a call prior to visiting to make sure they’re not sold out!
Can I buy a dock for Square Reader in retail stores too?
You can purchase the Bosstab Dock, which keeps the reader in place for quick, seamless countertop transactions, online here.
Are other Square products available at retail stores?
Yes, you can also purchase Square Terminal, Square Stand and Square Register at retail stores. Availability varies between stores, so it’s best to check their stock to make sure the hardware you’re after is available at that particular retail store. You can also order them online with free shipping anywhere in Australia.
