Do I have to re-connect my EMV reader to GoPayments every time?

Hi Belaircomputerguy, 

The card reader is connected through Bluetooth so there can be circumstances that it can be disconnected such as accidentally turning off the device Bluetooth. No worries, you can connect it again seamlessly since you've set it up successfully. 

If there cases that you can't connect it again, I've got an article for your reference in fixing issues with the GoPayment and QuickBooks mobile app card reader.

Feel free to use these links for future resources:

• Process a credit card transaction with GoPayment
• Understand your credit card processing statement

Keep me posted if there's anything else that you need help with. Take care!

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, I know I can connect it back again, it's just annoying extra step.  I'd love it if I could connect this reader through USB to my computer and use it IN Quickbooks.  Thanks for your input!

Thanks for following up with the Community, Belaircomputerguy.
 

There's a USB card reader called MagTek that works with QuickBooks. It can also be used in your Merchant Service Center.

There aren't any drivers required for installation. Instead, you'll be able to use it after plugging it in, much like a keyboard or mouse.
 

If you'd like to purchase one, they can be obtained through our e-store.
 

I've additionally included a couple detailed resources about working with MagTek devices that may come in handy moving forward:

• Installing USB card readers
• Using USB credit card readers

I'll be here to help if there's any questions. Enjoy the rest of your day!
