Hardware Compatibility Question

scoutlady — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 10:32:21 GMT

Why is there no Square Reader that fits the new USB-C port on cell phones? You have two types and neither fits my cellphone which means I have to purchase a $49 unit. For me - a VERY small business owner - this is a big expense for me.

Thank you

@scoutlady Have you tried to find an adapter for headphone jack to USB-C? I think there are plenty on Amazon. At this point, that’s your best option though you might find that buying/shipping one costs nearly as much as a contactless reader does.

Sorry I can’t be more help. As phone makers have discontinued the headphone jack, this is just one of many problems that have come up everywhere.
