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.

Great for quick purchases
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed to get something for a sale I was having that would allow me to take credit card purchases. Luckily the square mag stripe is a very cheap option to take credit card purchases and works really good once the app is downloaded.

Small business review

No more connector cables
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Glad I finally upgraded to the new mag stripe reader with the lightning connector. Much more convenient than having to use the connector cable, more aesthetically appealing (no connector wire hanging), and easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend Great for small businesses
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a must have for any small businesses who are using square with a newer iPhone. I'd also recommend picking up the contactless/chip reader as well. The swipe reader that comes with the contactless/chip reader has to be plugged into a headphone jack, so this reader is much more convenient for newer iPhones. I only use this for cards WITHOUT a chip in them. If you use this to process cards with a chip, you're more liable for fraudulent purchases.

Works as expected
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I only have one transaction so far and it works as expected. You have to create an account with Square. I have yet to discover any issue/s (if there are any) with the app because I just started using it. But, so far so good. As to the magstripe reader, I find it really convenient. Easy to carry anywhere. You just need to connect it to your phone, open the square app and swipe the card! That’s it. Just some minor issues (or probably major for some. But then again, I have only used it once) that I encountered, the chip doesn’t work. It’s supposed to work using the card’s chip and/or by swiping the card. I tried inserting the card using the chip but, it doesn’t fit up to chip so I ended up just swiping the card (which is really not an issue for me). Secondly, it took me thrice to swipe the card before it finally reads it and the payment to go through. Overall, I like it and I think it’s worth the 4 stars.
