First announced in June, Square’s contactless and chip reader connects wirelessly to the Square Stand mobile register or any iOS or Android device running the Square point-of-sale app. After the cashier finishes processing inputing the transaction, a green light flashes on the reader to indicate it’s ready to accept your contactless payment. You can use your Apple Pay-enabled iPhone or Apple Watch to pay by tapping your device on the reader. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3007583/iphone-ipad/square-rolls-out-its-new-apple-pay-reader.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
