Can you use a magstripe card reader on 2 different iPhones?

[BrandiHodges]

Can I use one reader successfully on two different iPhones as long as the login information for square is the same on both phones?  For some reason, it doesn't seem to be working after we downloaded the app on a friends phone for situations where I am not available to take payments on my phone.  Thanks.

How do I set up 2 separate businesses under 1 card reader depositing into 2 diff accounts?

@sunrise Our Readers are universal as the above post mentions! Feel free to share a reader between two different accounts. 

[Spenser · Accepted solution]

You definitely can, as our readers are universal and not associated with any personal or account info. They can be shared across accounts and devices; it's the account that is logged into the app that matters! 

Can you let me know what happens when you try the reader on your friend's phone? If it doesn't seem to be accepting swipes, check out our Support Center for tips!

Am I able to reset my slider reader to a different account.

The reader is not account-specific.  Whichever account is open when you use it is the account that the reader will report the data to.
