Reader seems to be crashing my POS

Thefox — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 11:10:41 GMT

Hi there.

I have been running with the square reader and Point of Sale on my tablet for over 12months

Today, everytime I connect the reader to the POS it is crashing the whole system.

I have uninstalled, re-installed. Disconnected the reader and tried to reconnect. I have used the POS on a different device etc

Help, my business is taking a massive hit today

Sorry trouble has brought you to our Community.

Are you using the Square Magstripe Reader or the Contactless + Chip Reader? Also, what kind of Tablet are you using?

I look forward to your reply.
