Am I doing something wrong? This isn't working for my square reader with iPad or iPhone. Is this for the paypal reader only?

The volume must be at Max for the readers to work they are powered from the speaker drivers. When the reader is working on the phone, remove it and try the cable again. SamR

Not sure about the reader, but it certainly does not work for the multi function earbud with volume and mic.

it is with Google play apps, but not sure with PayPal apps since I don't know about PayPal apps.

I also bought one of these for my IPAD it never worked. I learned never to waste money on items for my IPAD not sanctioned by APPLE. DALTON

I don't know about Square, but with the PayPal scanner, I had to fill down a little bump on the scanner body that kept the plug from going all the way into the ipad because the thinkness of the Kensington limits the insertion. I also had to use a dremel tool to open the area where the power switch is on the ipad. The holder itself is great and has plenty of weight to keep the ipad stable.

The card reader works great with cell phones and iPads. You must have a merchant service account, something you set up that allows you to accept credit cards. The funds go to the merchant service account and then they charge a fee for each swipe and the money is put into your bank accant.

This is a USB device - neither of those has a USB port. If you had some sort of adaptor, then, you'd need a driver for the reader that would run on your device. Unlikely you'd find that since neither has a USB port so not many people will be running this reader. There is a real lack of card reader support for mobile devices.

Hi Johnny, Thank you for asking. The card reader can work with IOS7 and iPad which is with lightning plug. But some times, it may comes with error when you plug the card reader into your iPad. Just ignore it, the card reader can still work. Best Regards Jason

The "stock" answer: No. It is not designed for anything but Square Register. I will say this however as being an engineer I have taken many pieces of hardware in the past and make them work with something for which they were never designed to work. It is basically a stand that you can mount an iPad into. It powers/charges the ipad through the usb connection (nothing to do with Square Register) and has a few USB ports on the cable (mini hub). I have no idea how the mag swipe reader is communicating to the SR software on the iPad (assume simple USB HRD or Virtual Keyboard Wedge). My suggestion would be to hit one of the big search engines and type in Square Stand and SalesVu solutions and see if others have tried what you want to do. Hardware wise this is a VERY simple piece of hardware (basically a nice, clean USB charging stand with built in CC reader).

I bought it to work with my iPad using the square stand. It says its compatible since the square has a usb. It is a complete waste of money. Or mine is defective. It doesn't work.

The Merchant Protective Case with Included Square Reader is only designed to fit the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. The case will not properly fit onto any iPod models.

Yes it will work with the square card reader. If the square will fit in the Ipad Mini then the adapter will also. Hope this helps.

HelloIf the reader has a OEM plug , it should not be a problem.The holes for the plugs are exactly the size of Apples lightning plug , or the 3 mm jack.Case on n off is a piece of cake .Good luck Hope this helps .

You need a brick-and-mortar merchant account. This will only read the contents of a card, and pass that information to a computer. You will need a Gateway and a payment processor to accept cards. If you're mobile, I'd suggest NOT buying these and looking into mobile based card acceptance (PayPal Here, Square, etc) that will use your Phone or Tablet and an installed application (both the reader and application are free). If you do end up going Gateway & Processor, I'd suggest Authorize.Net.

My ipad2 would not connect to ANYTHING with this device, so I cannot recomend it to anyone for ipad2. I could not find any app for it either. I would check for the app referred to in the user notes and not buy unless one can be found. No name for the alleged app was given.

Nope. You have to pay for that as well, around $35. I would go with a different card reader. I ended up buying something else after I couldn't get this one to work.

The answer button is too close to the text box! I was saying... If you try to charge two iPads and an iPhone, it won't work. The iPhone goes nuts. You need a different solution. I ended up giving this device away and getting one with 2 high power usb and six 120 outlets. Now I can plug in two cables and two apple transformers. Now I can charge 4 devices simultaneously.
