I have a motor tremor in my hands and find it hard to insert the chip card into the reader. i was thinking of inserting the card into the reader and then inserting it into my ipad is this feasible. and then i was thinking of getting the 49.00 reader since there is a slot for the whole card and that might solve my problem of inserting the card does anyone have the 49 reader and how do they like it

what little slide in piece are you talking about and what is square's pos system
I don't know what would be considered a lot of transactions- I looked, and my last show my square transactions were 35 transactions over 2 days and one evening, the show before that was 61 transactions over 3 days.
I have never noticed my ipad lower than about 70% and my $49 reader always seems to be full.
We do turn off the ipad in between some of the sales.
Last summer I was at a 4 day show where it was on from 10-8 each day. Never saw any depletion. I'm not sure why nothing seems to run down for me. Of course I'm recharging everything each night.
I think my husband feels that by turning off the ipad we are saving the square battery, but that is just a guess.
Does anyone know if the bluetooth reader battery life is used up more with more transactions or is it just how long it is in use regardless of the # of transactions?
We also have the $49 reader and it has been very reliable and easy to use. The battery life is extremely long and we haven't had to recharge even after 2 shows. Worth the money.
double yeh
thanks i ordered the 49 reader and dock and have a generator i will use till i get a backup battery fig i will have customer insert card if i have a problem i only have one more show this year yeh
The $49 card reader should be much better for you. I usually give the reader to the customer to insert the card and remove the card. Warning, it does have a battery and must be charged. Just in case I forget to charge, which is often with me, I also carry a small portable charger. I
