Square Reader for Contactless and Chip (2nd generation)

Tap or dip a card at the table. It pairs to your phone and runs on the same Square account your LocaliBuy shop uses for online card payments.

Why we like it

If your shop takes cards online through Square, this is the piece that takes them in person: tap-to-pay cards, chip cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, all landing in the same Square account. One rate per tap or dip, no contract, no monthly fee.

The second generation pairs more reliably and holds a charge longer than the original, and it keeps taking payments offline for up to 24 hours when the show has no signal.
