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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    I purchased the Square to use at a fundraiser. Very easy to use. Convenient. Will be using it for other events, class registration fees and donations.

    Easy to use and charges fast. It's a life saver for small businesses like myself. I don't regret my decision of going with Square instead of the bank options.

    Needed a reader with a lightening connector. Ordered one from Square, it was still processing after 2 weeks! Saw these on sale on the website and purchased one! And I received it in about 2 days.
