Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Reader for Magstripe, particularly its ease of use and compatibility with devices like iPads. Many appreciate its overall performance, reasonable price, and compact size, which is convenient for business use. While the lightning connector is a plus for secure connections and the reader is generally fast, some users have noted issues with the instructions and the card reader's ability to read all cards.

    I thought you’d be paying a monthly fee but you only get a small charge per transaction. I love it. It’s so easy to use and i even signed up to get another free one when i registered this one. Would definitely recommend!

    We purchased a couple of these for our volunteers at our fundraisers for those who had lightning ports only on their newer iPhones. It worked great. Solid and way more elegant than having the old ones dangle off a dongle.
