Which reader will be best for my practice

[Skyler]

I am a cosmetic nurse providing injectables, facials, skincare products, etc. currently have the mag stripe reader but need more, ideally I want to be able to check patients out in a jiff + allow them to pick a tip % if desired. Not sure which device would be the best? Ideally email or text receipt options. Thank you!

I really would look at the square terminal.  It's portable, wireless, and has those exact options you are looking for and won't require you to hand over a phone or tablet etc.

Hi @Skyler 👋 Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Seller Community! Welcome!

Based on your description, we have quite a few options that would work well for you - but we may need some insight into what device you use (tablet, phone, etc.) before we offer solidified suggestions.

If you currently use an iPad with your Magstripe Reader, we would recommend the Square Stand - it is our most popular hardware setup. It works in conjunction with our Contactless & Chip card reader.

I will keep an eye out for your response!

Thanks for the help! I currently ring patients up on my desk top and use the square attachment for my cell phone. Which isn’t working very well. I am open to buy an iPad or the register.

For fast check out is not putting patient info in an option? And allowing them to email themselves a reciept if needed via the screen? Thanks again!
