Card reader beeping positively but payment not being taken

Hi,

 

Our card reader has started to beep as if payment is taken but no payment gets taken. The card isn't declined, just nothing happens.

We then have to go back and re take the payment. This isn't great as some customers think we have taken twice, and explaining each time is a real pain.

 

Have tried un pairing and re pairing device already.

 

Does anybody have any experience with this?

Hi @St_eia @Theredlionek @ArronM @The_Sun_Inn our engineers have released a fix to address the disruption affecting Tap and Chip payments in iOS and iPadOS devices. This fix is included in the latest version of Square Point of Sale (version 6.16.1). Please update manually by visiting the AppStore > search for Square Point of Sale and lastly tap Update.

I have again done what support have asked and it’s made no difference to us at all, 

 

I am awaiting a call back from support again to see what the next steps are and to try and get it logged for the engineers
