There are lots of small vendors (especially at farmers markets) still using the swipe only Square reader. This will presumably allow them to start accepting contactless as well. The main advantage of this is most banks put the liability from fraud on the business for swipe/manual entry transactions, but not for EMV (chip/tap) transactions.
