New to Square. Do I set up account before ordering? We will be ordering the $49 EMV reader and need everything up & running (and tested!) before Nov 16 event.

I would sign up first and then order your reader or pick up one locally.. that way if there is an issue you haven't bought hardware you can't use. readers aren't tied to specific accounts so you can buy at any time.

Welcome to the seller community, @HMCC!

Yep, I'd agree with @VanKalkerFarms—for more information on processing payments with the Contactless and Chip Reader, have a look here: Accept Payments with the Contactless + Chip Reader.

Also, feel free to check out our setup guide: Square Get Started Guide. Happy to help out if anything else comes up! 🙂

I have a square reader from using the Evenbrite app. Will that square reader work for your app as well?

if it is a Square reader it will work.
