Chip & Swipe card reader

The Shopify Chip & Swipe card reader is an EMV-compliant credit card reader that connects wirelessly to your iPad or iPhone. Customers can insert or swipe their card, and then sign on the screen of your POS device.

The Chip & Swipe reader is no longer sold by Shopify. If you own a Chip & Swipe reader and your store is based in the United States, then you can still get support for the product from Shopify.

Note

The Chip & Swipe reader is supported only if you're in the United States. If you want to use a card reader with Shopify POS but you aren't in the United States, then you need to accept payments with a supported card reader.
