The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Free Raider??
Hello there in good day, I just finished signing up for new account. And it was stating that I would get a free reader, but after I finish registering the account it takes me to where their for sale?? Can somebody help me with this?
Hey @Rina! Welcome to Square 😊 Please try the following steps:
If that doesn't work, please let me know!
I’m having the same issue. It’s trying to charge me for my free one. I’ve tried all the steps mentioned and it doesn’t work.
Olive i just did this i am having the same issue, it wants me to pay for it
I'm having the same issue AND it isn't free. 😞
This just happened to me as well. I hit the free reader button but was still chgd 10.00.
Hey there, @shabbychicsher -
Have you ordered a free reader on the account before? If so, it won't allow you to order another one.
I will keep an eye out for your reply👀.
Probly 15 yrs ago under a fifteenth business account, diff bank acct address, everything.
Tried it & askes for payment. is there a code or something?

I had the same problem is the person above. I'm being asked to pay $10.60 for my FREE reader.
I did all the steps you mentioned and its still trying to charge me. Is this product really for free?
Hello, @alchemymanager - Welcome to the seller community!
Sorry to hear you had some trouble ordering a free Square reader. We are happy to take a quick look at your account. If you are a first time Square seller you should have the ability to receive a free Square Magstripe Reader.
We can see in your account that an order was successfully placed on 2/24/23 at 1:59pm MST for a Square Magstripe Reader, here are your tracking details. lease let us know if you continue to experience the same issues.
Thank you.
Yes, I called 1-855-700-6000 customer service number and they placed the order for me over the phone. No fee.
I could not process the transaction on my own via the website without being charged $10.
I see others have had similar concerns. I found the help phone number by reading someone else's post.
It would be nice if the concern was fixed so the free reader could be acquired through the website online checkout. I almost gave up and paid the $10. I wonder how many others have gotten frustrated and paid the $10.
Which, $10 is not a lot of money compared to purchasing other readers to do a POS through our phones using the Square app. But it would of left a bad taste in my mouth as far as my experience with Square.
As a new person using Square, I'm greatful to the Square customers service representative who fixed my concerns in a relatively fast time. Now I'm feeling more confident moving forward using Square.
I wanted to share this feedback because customer service is so important when technology, online systems fail us.
I hope this helps someone.
Thank you,
Sandra @ ALCHEMY

Hi there, @FGLJackieB
I can help take a look at this for you! Can you please send me a private message? Also, welcome to the Seller Community! 🥳 We are so happy to have you here. While you are here, we recommend checking out our Orientation & Etiquette.
Just a heads up it's definitely broken. None of that works and I got all the way to payment and never took off the $10.
Dunno if anyone who works there needs to know that.
Take care.
It is charging me $10.80
It doesnt work, it still is charging $10
HI
I clicked the link you gave but it only take me to the buy page. Is this no longer available? or is it only for the US? (I live in Canada)
