Overview

The React Native plugin for the Reader SDK is an open source project that provides a JavaScript interface for calling the native Reader SDK implementations.

For more information, see see the Get Started, quickstart sample application, and technical reference in the Reader SDK React Native repo on GitHub.

If you don't have a Square Reader, you can purchase a Magstripe Reader online or buy a Square Reader online or in person.
