How do I get a free reader?

[Dymond4eva]

How do I get the free reader as I'm not seeing that there's an order in for me.  It charges me when I go to order but says the first one is shipped to be free.

Hey @Dymond4eva -  When you have a chance, please try ordering this way:

http://squ.re/readerrequest > "Send me a reader" > Select Connectivity > complete checkout process

If that doesn't work, please let me know.

If you still have this reader I would love it I am having the same issue. [email protected]

HI, hopefully this Square Support page will help.

I had to pay for my reader even though it said it was free. Why is this?

[Goldneye]

HI, a free reader is for new signups.  

[CarrieAnn72]

When I signed up, I was never offered the option of getting one. So now I had to pay to get it.

[CarrieAnn72]

This is why I have never used Square for my business.

I'm having the same problem. I've tried the link to order but it still wants me to pay. If square is going to advertise a free reader than charge I'm very worried about trusting transactions to them.

Hello. I tried ordering the free square reader for my LLC but at check out it keeps on trying to charge me the $10 for the reader when it stated it was free. So how do I get a free reader when it keeps prompting me to pay for it? Please help. Thank you.

Hello @tgcustomcorner see this post here for info about obtaining a free reader. I hope this helps answer your question.

Hi @tgcustomcorner 👋

I went ahead and merged your post to the thread @HC_Charlie mentioned.

Please let me know if you happen to have any further issues with ordering your reader and I'd be happy to help!

Have you followed these steps yet @zehnermin?

How can I get a free chip reader. I don't need to put any money into this. I'm doing this for charity. Non-profit organization. I can send proof of that nonprofit organization if necessary. I followed all the instructions from several threads. But they lead nowhere. There are no options that are claim to be there. Is there any way that I can get a free chip reader?

[tenfourgoods]

After MUCH frustration I just learned that you have to buy it first then they will send you a code to redeem for the $10 reimbursement. 

This from the Help:

• They cost $10 up front, but come with a $10 redemption code. Once you enter the code we’ll send $10 to your linked bank account.

• One redemption code can be claimed per Square account.

Help. I'm confused. It said I'd get a free magnetic reader yet wants to charge me $10????

[Arie]

Are you proceeding to the last step of the checkout, @ernie12345678? The charge will drop off as you go through the checkout process, as long as this is the first free reader you're claiming. Please let us know how you go!
