When will we have new samsung compatable reader?

Is there going to be a reader that is compatible compatible with the Samsung S22? The small $10 reader only works for iPhone or a headphone Jack, but these new samsung's don't have headphone jacks!

Hello @Janerosemusic !

 

I recommend taking a look at the Contactless Reader for your Samsung. It connects via bluetooth and accepts tap and dipped payments.

 

The swiper is good in a pinch--when it is compatible with your device--but you are on the hook for all fraudulent transactions when you swipe cards anymore. Dipping chip cards (inserting a card in the device and leaving it inserted until after the transaction is complete) is a lot more secure and the preferred way to accept cards now.

 

You won't be able to swipe gift cards or non-chipped cards with this reader, but those cards are few and far between anymore. You can always manually enter those cards on the rare occasion when you get one.

 

Hope this helps!
