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.

    Could not say enough about this!! If you are a small business owner, I would HIGHLY recommend this product. Ease of use and app is super user friendly! Only recommendation I would make is to be careful when selecting the plug-in options.

    This is one of the simplest and most effortless ways to start accepting credit card payments in minutes! If you are planning on having a garage sale, selling items posted on website for pickup in person, this is the right tool for you!

    As the first part of trying to keep payments to our business outside of the chip reader dock. Picked this up as well, just in case the dock reader should go down. Works like a charm also. Some customers do express concerns that they have to worry about how secure not reading the chip is, but we have that also. So everything is good. Square offers decent charges when you use there products with no contracts.
