How do I order a free reader?

[signatureblack]

Can I ask if the card reader is only free in America, As I have just created and set up an account and I am taken to the Square store and can see them on sale for $59.95 AUD. 

Is a free card reader available to account holders in Australia?

Hey @signatureblack,

Thanks for getting in touch!

The free reader is an older US-only offer for a basic swipe reader - because Australia is almost entirely reliant on the more secure chip and tap based cards, this swipe reader isn't available and won't work by itself in Australia.

Our entry level card reader here is the Contactless + Chip reader at $59 - it comes with a swipe reader attachment, but note that this can only be used:

- While the Contactless + Chip reader is connected via Bluetooth

- For foreign credit cards that don't have chips or tap, or Square gift cards
 

Sorry for any confusion here and let me know if you have any questions!
