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.

The Square Magstripe Reader with Lightning Connector is a convenient way to accept payments using bank cards. This makes it possible to make business transactions practically anywhere there is a connection to the internet. This portable equipment yields great returns on investment and allows for small organizations to handle a variety of banking institutions. It’s a wonderful business solution to carry in your pocket.

I was fortunate to find a Square at Best Buy in time for a craft fair. At a time where everything is contact-less, I was able to provide an option other than cash. It was very easy to set up on my phone and once the app is downloaded, it’s simple to navigate. I highly recommend it.

Very easy to setup and works great.
Simply download the Square app onto your phone and set up your account.
Plug the card reader into the lightning port on your phone and you are ready to take credit or debit card payments.
NOTE: As of 5/1/2022 Square will send you a free card reader if you want to save $10.

It's very good that I can use the redeem code to get a refund and at the same time get this reader ASAP. No need to wait for slow mail.
This accessory works perfectly with my iPhone during the transaction. It's a good choice for a small merchandise like me to own one and sell offlane!

Ever since Apple got rid of the headphone jack on the iPhone...it’s been annoying to say the least to use square for random transactions.
Paying the extra bit for a manual entry adds up over time.
Finally though we got a square reader with a lightening connector!
Picked this up immediately. If you use square and have an iPhone...grab this today!

The square reader is nice and compact and works efficiently for events on the go. I like that I didn’t have to rely on a stable WiFi connection and that it automatically updated my inventory from the app. Syncs well with Etsy and provided my customers with a simple checkout experience
