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).

    An easy set up, and Square reimburses the $10 that it costs to buy. Definitely will recommend this product to those who sell their own products.

    This is a great item. It’s a must have if you are going to process credit card payments for a small business. Best Buy has the best price.

    Does what it is supposed to. Sometimes it takes a minute to read the mag strip but then it works as it should. A lot easier than keying in information.
