Can I purchase the Chip Card Reader in a store?

Hi! I'm interested in purchasing the chip reader. I need it for an event on September 2nd and I'm worried with the shipping time I may not receive it in time. Is there a place I could buy it in stores? I've looked around a bit and it seems only the contactless reader or the free readers are available in stores. Or is there an option for expedited shipping?

Hi @TheFreshLoaf - Thanks for reaching out!

Unfortunately, we’re unable to expedite shipments at this time. Shipments in the continental United States should arrive within 3-5 business days and shipments to Alaska and Hawaii should arrive within 5-10 business days.

The Chip Reader that connects via headphone jack is not available as widely as the Magstripe and Contactless readers are. You can definitely check in with your nearest retailer to see if they carry it. If not, we recommend going with the Contactless reader as it also give you the ability to accept even more payments in the form of Apple Pay and Android Pay.

If you'd like to stick with the Chip Reader, you can order one with expedited shipping from Amazon, although there’s an additional fee to expedite orders.

Hope that helps!
