your best bet for faster help is to call in.

What step in the process are you having issues with? the type of reader shouldn't mater.

If you are using an iPhone you can use your phone to accept payments if you can't get the reader to.

@40944 ;

Start with the Basics:

Is the Reader connected to your Device? Meaning on a Square stand I have a Checkmark next to Reader in the top right.
How is your reader connected? USB or Bluetooth?
Is your device connected to the Internet, not just your wifi?
If all this looks good go through these troubleshooting steps:

But calling in is usually the fastest way to get an answer with customers waiting. Supports number is in my signature line.
