## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the description true? you get both a square reader with this chip reader also?**
A: yes, but the magistripe reader has a 3.5 mm adaptor that requires purchasing a separate dongle to be able to use it with an iPhone and possibly Android that were made in the last decade.

**Q: Can this square chip reader be used with any phone?**
A: Hey Lisa, Yes it can. As long as you are using a smartphone that has the square app installed and your BLUETOOTH on. It can accept contactless chip card as well as the mag strip for swipe cards.

**Q: how long does it stay charged on average, with continued use**
A: Have learned to carry a charger with me for full day events.  It's going to depend on how many transactions it processes. Mine will process about 12 transactions before needing to recharge  in about 6  hours. Learned that first day I used it and it went dead. No other problems besides updates. Someone said it will stay charged for 18 hours. It will if its NOT used to process transactions. If you are doing an all day event, be safe and carry a charger.

**Q: What if a client doesn't have a chip? Do I need to buy the old one also and can I link both accounts with just paying tax for 1 account?**
A: The kit has both a reader and a contactless pad. It works with contactless payment (Apple Pay), chips AND magnetic strips.
