looking chip card readers, not contactless reader

I'm looking for the chip reader that Square used to sell a couple of years ago. It's a combination chip reader and magstripe reader that plugs into the phone. Because its a hardware connection, it avoids the bluetooth connection issues that so many people seem to have.

I have two but I would like a couple more. It seems Square is no longer selling them.

Hey @heguyt - your suspicions are right, we no longer offer the Chip + Card reader that plugs directly into your phone. You'll need to upgrade to the Contactless Reader if you're looking for a chip reader.

If you or any other sellers are having issues connecting the Contactless Reader via Bluetooth we can walk through some troubleshooting to get your reader working. Just give us a holler!
