Hello I have a square from about 3 years ago that I haven’t used I’m wanting to start up my craft business again can I still use the one I have or do I need to get a new one?

I believe the older readers still work - we have a lot of crafters that are studio members or staff here and I know they aren't updating their readers that often. I do love the contactless reader though if you want to upgrade - they are great and much more user-friendly for newer cards that can tap or dip and/or pay with their phone - It is an awesome device for $49!!! https://squareup.com/us/en/hardware/contactless-chip-reader
