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.

Easy but high charge
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything is good about this from using to account set up. Except if you want to take big payments the charge would be 3.75% which is very high!

Look before you buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not work with all new phones e.g. Galx s21+. They will not make aware in store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Square
Posted .We apologize for any confusion. Headset and Lightning are the only connection types available for the Square Reader for magstripe at this time.
If your device does not have a built-in port, some devices include an adapter that enables you to connect 3.5mm audio accessories, like your favorite headphones or the Square Reader, to the device’s main port (like a USB-C port).
We also recommend using the Square Reader for contactless and chip with your new device, as it connects wirelessly with Bluetooth LE. You can also accept contactless card payments, chip card payments, and mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Android Pay."
