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 use my square and find it user friendly. I am very satisfied with the ease of use and simplicity of it being so transportable.

    I had the old headphone jack style, but had to switch when my new phone didn’t have that port anymore. I like this one better, though, because it doesn’t swivel when I swipe, as the old one did.

    This version of the Square reader has allowed a friend of mine to accept payments using his newer iPhone. It's a good deal when you don't need the functionality of Square's Bluetooth reader or professional products.

    Excellent reader for small businesses that are looking to launch off and stay lean. It is worth the upgrade to get the tap to pay and card insert version.

    Does what is needed. This allows sales to continue without having to purchase the larger machines. We have one of the touch screen models, but these work just as well.

    These work great on your phone. I do how ever have to replace them about once a year because they just plan wear out. And I only work twice a week. And a helpful hint / do not drop your phone because it will bend and not work.
