Tips for Using Your Chip Card Reader
For general reader care, check both card slots frequently to make sure they stay free of debris.

To save battery, remove the reader from your device when you’re not accepting payments. The reader will not charge when it’s plugged into your device, even if your device is connected to a power source.

Charge your reader every night.

For faster charging, connect the USB charging cable to a grounded outlet or power source.

Troubleshoot Your Chip Card Reader
The following steps typically take care of most reader issues:

Remove any case or cover from your device. Some cases prevent the reader from plugging in completely.

Update to the latest version of the Square app.

Make sure you’re using a supported device.

Unplug the reader and plug it back in while the Square app is open.

Delete and reinstall the Square app. See Apple or Google support for instructions.

Plug the reader into a power source, leave it for 1-5 minutes, and then plug it back into the device.

If you see “Please try inserting again, chip could not be read,” remove the card and insert it again until you hear a click. Keep the card in place until the payment completes.

If you see the message “Reader Damaged,” the reader is broken and you’ll need to request a new one.

If you’re using an Apple device, make sure the audio volume balance is exactly in the middle. To check, visit your device’s settings, tap General Accessibility. Scroll down to the hearing section and move the “audio volume balance” directly in the middle.

If you’re using an Android device, make sure that any audience enhancement features (such as One M8, Clari-fi, or Beats Bass Boost) are turned off – they can disrupt the connection between your reader and device.

If you see the error message, “Register needs VoiceOver to be turned off,” go to your device settings and tap General, Accessibility, VoiceOver and turn off VoiceOver. This may also be “S Voice” or “Talkback” on your device. If that doesn’t do the trick, turn off Mono Audio from your device settings.

If you’ve tried all the troubleshooting steps and you’re still having issues, submit a warranty claim.

I'm about to start selling at my first ever market stall in a few weeks time and I was feeling really nervous until I watched your video. Thank you so much. It's not as complicated as I first thought.

This video was just what I needed after getting into a panic about trying a test payment, great video thank you.

Do you have to have a library or list of products to have a purchase or can you just type in the amount they owe without the menu options?

Great video. Helped me set my Dad's card reader up for him. Many thanks.

[balarajuc]

Thanks, very nicely explained . Great work

Square now charges standard processing fee for accidental charge with immediate refund. Then charges processing fee for correct charge after accidental charge (in other words twice ) . make sure you enter correct amount

Those donuts looks good . Going to get me some ❤❤❤❤

Can you buy this if your business isn’t a real business?
like if my daughter were to set up a booth at a fair to sell art

[preciousrutlin]

thank you for doing this video. it helped me a lot

[leewright]

Great video. I have been overwhelmed with the thought of getting a card reader. I have in the past missed sales due to customers not having venmo/zelle etc. So i think im going to get the same as shown in the video.
In the app are you able to record different inventory and stock amounts?

[stacyedwards]

Great video thank you! I’m starting to do shows for my hobby!

Can you set up multipule businesses on the app to accept payments?

[tonyasvestas]

Hi there, I would like to know please if you can link personal bank account with it or just business one?!thanks in advance

[ellenbarronoreilly]

So after you selected enable cookies, it suddenly populated product options. How did those get in there?

[koolaidpuc]

So the bank account that you link the app with, is suppose to be a business banking account and not your personal bank account right? If it’s a business bank, that means that you would need to open one first, wether it’d be a corporate or sole property business account.

Hi, I have a market coming up where I'm going to sell, but I only go to these markets 4 times a year, people don't use cash much or sometimes I don't have change for them. Would this be useful to me since I'm a sporadic seller? Thank you.
