Offlinepayments are processed automatically when you reconnect your device to the internet and will be declined if you do not reconnect to the internet within 24 hours of taking your first offline payment. By enabling offline payments, you are responsible for any expired, declined, or disputed payments accepted while offline. Square is unable to provide customer contact information for payments declined while offline. Offline payments are not supported on older versions of Square Reader for contactless and chip (1st generation - v1 and v2). Click here for help identifying your contactless reader.

New researchers should register in person at the Reader Registration Station located in the Madison Building, Room LM 133 (in the Newspaper & Current Periodical Reading Room) or the Jefferson Building, Room LJ 139 (in the Microform and Electronic Resources Center). The Library cannot accept registrations via mail, email, or telephone. Upon completion of a simple computerized self-registration process, Library staff will verify your information, take an identification photo, have you provide a digitized signature, and give you your card.
It is possible to pre-register online by completing a simple Web form (this can be done up to two weeks prior to visiting the Library of Congress in person). You will still need to report to the Reader Registration Station and present your valid identification. Once your ID has been verified, Library staff will take an identification photo, have you provide a digitized signature, and give you your card.
PLEASE NOTE: The ID shown must contain the same information (e.g., home address) that was entered when you pre-registered online. If a change has occurred, Library staff will modify the information prior to issuing the Reader Identification Card.
Those planning to bring large groups of new researchers to the Library for registration should contact the supervisor of the Reader Registration Station in advance at
202-707-5278 to ensure expeditious processing of the group.
Library of Congress registered readers may use the Library of Congress Online Catalog to request materials from the Library's general collections, the Law Library, and from the Asian and Music Division collections. The automated call slip service (ACS) offers delivery of materials only to the Library's Main, Science and Business, European, Hispanic, Law, and Performing Arts reading rooms.
To use this service, you will first have to log in with a temporary password (provided to you in one of the Library's reading rooms) and then immediately create your own unique password. This process will establish your "patron account."
A valid Reader Identification Card is the minimum requirement for access to the Library's public reading rooms. Some reading rooms have supplemental registration procedures and/or conditions of use (some reading rooms require researchers to be 18+ years of age).
The title of this thread has been edited by a Square Moderator from the original: "I have a new iPhone and my card reader dies not have the same connection - is there a new version ca"
Sorry to here you ran into an issue. Just to clarify, I'm assuming you have a new iPhone 15 (which is the latest model) with iOS 17 (operating system) installed. The issue is if you have a Square Reader - there are two types - one style has the headphone Jack and the other has the Lighting Connector. Neither will fit your new iPhone as it has a USB-C Connector for charging and accessories. In most cases that I've tinkered with when trying to use an adapter to make the Reader compatible, it simply won't work. I've tried extenders and other adapters. It has to do with the internal configuration of the adapters - it's possible they may work with other electronic devices. You may want to consider going to the next level - Square's Contactless and Chip Reader - although not free - it's actually a better option. This Reader connects to your phone via Bluetooth. And the benefit of this Reader is that using Tap or Dip is more secure and lessens your liability against fraud verses Swipe. There's more details here about that.
in addition to @JK_Fiber_Art's great advice, you can take payment via tap directly on your phone without any additional hardware. that was you can take payments from other people's phones (Apple Pay, Google Pay) and via tap of their cards. You get the exact same functionality as the contactless payment device from Square but built-in for free.

I was asked to be a guest vendor at a local craft fair. In less than a week. I just downloaded the POS app, but there is no way I will get a card reader in time (1-3 days to process then up to 5 days shipping). Should I bother to learn how to use the POS app just for this craft fair?
Being invited to be a guest vendor at a local craft fair is so exciting - congratulations! While you're correct that you likely won't get a card reader in time for the event with it being less than a week away, the Shopify POS app will still be an asset for the event. Using the Shopify POS app will allow you to do inventory management and keep track of your orders and payments while selling in person.
You have a few great ideas and I'll provide you with some resources to learn more about actioning them below. I'll also add some more thoughts I have on how to get the most out of Shopify POS without a card reader.

What is the Credit Card rate for manually entering credit cards on The Shopify POS App? I currently pay 2.9% via the website when people are not in-person with me. I will also not be getting a card reader in-time for an event that I want to accept CC at. Thanks!!
With that being said, you do enjoy other benefits such as lower rates with present card transactions using the POS (in comparison it is 2.7% + $.0 on the same plan). To make sure you have what you need going forward, let me know if you have questions about hardware or chip readers for future events.
I just wanted to check in and see if your event is over and if it was successful. I also want to make sure you are supported going forward, so please check in with me to share what worked and what you're looking to improve for selling in person in the future.
So I know Apple didn't splurge for a top-o-the-line SD card reader in the new 16" 2021 MacBook Pro, but this is ridiculous. The SD Card reader is insanely slow. How slow? Pop in an SD Card with only 30 16GB RAW files on it, and it takes 30+ minutes to import the files to Lightroom Classic. Used the SD card reader in my 5 year-old OWC Thunderbolt port, and the same card will import in 30 seconds.
Interesting. I tested several cards (all SanDisk) formatted in several different cameras, In my case every card labelled "Extreme PLUS" was a no-go (most of these were 90 mb/s)... All the cards labelled "Extreme PRO" were fine (even the ones as slow as 45 mb/s).
I have all Sandisk SD Extreme Pro SD cards, some are 95MB/s others are 170MB/s. The 95MB/s cards are extremely slow indeed, except when you use an external card reader. The 170MB/s cards seem to work just fine with the internal reader. Surely this must be solvable with a software update, no?
So I found the solution: Basically, the card reader doesn't support anything slower than UHS-I ... so if you have older slower cards in older slower cameras, your shiny new MBP won't like those cards, and you'll need to replace them with newer SD Cards.
I think there is hope. It looks like they fixed some of the problem in macOS 12.1and I expect they will continue to improve it. Reporting the problem, and your specific SD card type, directly to Apple should help them improve things.
I'm using an Extreme Pro 95MB/s SDHC V30 UHS-1 u3 10circle and the card reader is extremely slow and will crash. It is an older card, but UHS-I and it is not working. Wondering what else it could possibly be.
Same here. I have a SanDisk 32GB Extreme Pro card, which is UHS-I with 95MB/s I believe. And it's EXTREMELY slow and will crash in a minute. But with a 10 dollars external sd card reader I previously own, it works fine and reads smoothly. I think it's a serious problem, the user experience is pretty horrible.
I am a photographer and work a lot with 32 GB SD cards Sandisk Extreme, 32 GB, 90 MB/s) . I must have 20 of them, which I use rotating in my jobs. But the reader of my new Macbook Pro has a problem with these cards: copying processes are slow or faulty or break off in the middle (error -36). The Finder shows the spinning wheel.
I have the same problem on a 16" MBP with M1 Max. The reader is unreasonably slow compared to my USB 3.1 external reader. It takes a very long time to start transferring when files are dragged to a folder on the SSD (10-15 seconds for a transfer of 100 photos) and is slow in transferring the data. Occasionally, it just throws an error and gives up. I'm using Sandisk Extreme Pro UHS 3 32GB cards that otherwise have been reliable.
