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’ve used Square for years, but the newer contactless chip reader sometimes refuses to connect, and can’t be used in offline mode. This chip reader doesn’t need an adapter from mini plug to Lightning, can read magstripe cards to use in offline mode. Great to have when your location has no wifi or cell data service available!
