https://community.squareup.com/t5/Payments-Troubleshooting/Contactless-reader-needs-a-lanyard-tether/m-p/251780#M47593 <P>I recently saw a street vendor using a competitive contactless reader ( About same size as Square reader, brand starts with Q)</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The vendor had the reader hanging on a lanyard from his neck. On closer inspection I discovered this other brand reader included an integral tether for attaching to a lanyard.&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I think this is a fantastic idea! Good enough to encourage me to look at the competitors web site and consider switching. I will not as I have had my Square contactless reader for over four years but I would love to see Square offer this feature.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>What do you think?</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="20210305_104054~2.jpg" style="width: 1996px;"><img src="https://community.squareup.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/11994iECB70DD8C8BFDDD9/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="20210305_104054~2.jpg" alt="20210305_104054~2.jpg" /></span></P> <P> </P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Sun, 21 Sep 2025 09:59:00 GMT GrahamB 2025-09-21T09:59:00Z https://community.squareup.com/t5/Payments-Troubleshooting/Contactless-reader-needs-a-lanyard-tether/m-p/251780#M47593 <P>I recently saw a street vendor using a competitive contactless reader ( About same size as Square reader, brand starts with Q)</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The vendor had the reader hanging on a lanyard from his neck.
