Square<\/a> is one of the world’s best credit card processing systems and the best place to start your search. The card reader is the only thing that\u2019s easier to use than the software. Square credit card readers can accept chip cards and contactless payments (such as Apple Pay and Google Pay). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EMV (Europay, Mastercard, Visa) magstripe reader functions as a different device, but Square will provide one for no additional cost whenever you create an account. Additionally, Square accounts include a complimentary virtual terminal. All Square terminals are PCI-compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standard Square Reader costs $49 and can connect to your mobile device via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The Square Dock costs another $29 and will keep the Square Reader charged as you use it for card transactions. You\u2019ll also have the option for the Square Stand ($189), Square Terminal ($298), and Square Register ($799). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to some of the best readers available, Square also features some of the best pricing options. There\u2019s no monthly fee for using Square \u2014 and you can cancel anytime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
