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.

    Works great and the digital processing will save me some fees, so I'm happy. Of course, I would be happier if Square had sent the free reader like they promised, but that's nothing on BestBuy whose employees were very helpful.

    Since BSA still raises funds by selling popcorn in front of local shops and stores, and people are using cash less and less, this came in handy.
