Buy NowMade for NFC and chip
One reader, two ways to get paid: accept Apple Pay (and other contactless payments) and EMV chip cards, too.
Pocket-size and powerful
Packed with a powerful battery, the reader connects wirelessly to iOS or Android devices.
Works with the Square app
Our free point-of-sale app takes care of payments, tipping, inventory, reports, and more.
Magstripe reader in the box
We’ll send you a free Square magstripe reader—so you can swipe cards the old-fashioned way, too.
Accept every way your customer wants to pay.
Whether it’s mobile device payments like Apple Pay, or EMV chip cards, you can accept all payment types at the counter or on the go.
Tap and go.
Move your line faster by accepting Apple Pay and other NFC payments. Customers simply hold their device near the NFC reader to trigger payment.
Dip the chip.
Chip cards (or EMV) are the new standard in payment cards. Chip cards are inserted into the reader, then left in place for the duration of the sale.
Start accepting chip cards.
If you swipe the magstripe on the back of a counterfeit chip card, you could be liable instead of your bank or the card issuer. Our new contactless and chip reader keeps that liability with the banks and protects your business.
Be ready for the classics, too.
Swipe the stripe.
A Square magstripe reader is included in the box—because not everyone has a chip card yet. Both readers can be connected to your device simultaneously, so you can keep swiping cards as long as your customers are carrying them.
The best way to pay meets the best way to sell.
We built our new chip and NFC reader so every business in the neighborhood could accept Apple Pay and chip cards—because we believe everyone deserves faster, more secure transactions.
Designed for every business.
