Hey @Rina! Welcome to Square 😊 Please try the following steps:

 

  1. Click Free Reader Request.
  2.  Select "Send me a reader" 
  3. Select Connectivity.
  4.  Complete checkout process.

 

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

I set up an account, and it still wants to charge me for the reader.  I clicked on the link provided "click Free Reader Request" but it still wants to charge me.  How do I get one for free?????

Hi, the link provided doesn't work. It takes me to my account Dashboard.

How can I order the free reader? 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I followed your instructions and even clicked the link you provided and I was taken to a checkout screen with a charge of $10.80.  How do I receive the free reader without this charge?

The reader is free for Sellers who never had a Square account before. Since you are being prompted to pay, reach out to our CS Team so they can figure out what's going on.

When I clicked the link for a free reader after signing up, it sends me back to the dashboard.  When I click order a reader, it wants me to buy one for $10.
