A small device that pairs with your phone or tablet to accept tap and chip payments through a POS app. It’s the lightest, cheapest way to take cards — ideal for pop-ups, markets, services, and anyone who sells away from a counter.
Plug-in / Bluetooth readers (like Square Reader or Clover Go) pair with your phone for tap and chip. All-in-one handhelds (like Square Terminal, PAX A920, or Dejavoo P3) add a screen and a built-in printer so you don’t need a phone at all. Tap to pay on phone is also an option on some devices.
If you just need to take an occasional card, a Bluetooth reader is perfect. If you take payments often or want to print receipts and run a real menu, step up to an all-in-one handheld. (See our terminal vs. POS guide for the bigger picture.)
Lowering what you pay to accept a card frees up money every month with no extra work and no new customers.
A mobile reader works the same on a zero-cost program — dual-pricing shows the cash and card price, so your processing costs are covered. The reader itself is provided at $0 up front.
