Trouble Quickbooks Online with Quickbooks Card Reader

We just purchased Quickbooks Card Reader.  It works great with GoPayments App. BUT we need it to also work with Quickbooks Online on our laptop.  We need to avoid opening our cell phones to get to the App when we are in our shop.  I have the Card Reader charged and connected with the USB cord to my laptop (I tried connecting the Reader to my laptop via Bluetooth and it keeps disconnecting so have the USB cord connected.)  The Card Reader keeps disconnecting even with the cord connected to the laptop.   

I tested by tapping Receive Payment on an Invoice in QB Online - select CC Details - Swipe Card - and put a credit card in the Card Reader and nothing happens.  The Card Reader says Disconnected.  It does not do this when the APP is open.  WHY?  It should work with the laptop too, right?

Processing payments using the QuickBooks card reader is exclusive to the QuickBooks mobile app only. However, the transactions created on your desktop or laptop will automatically sync with your mobile app and process payments once you refresh the system.

 

You can check the Compatibility with programs and applications to enhance your understanding of compatibility issues, helping you make informed decisions when selecting software for your needs.
