Customers are saying

Customers commend the Reader for Magstripe's ease of use, affordability, and compatibility with various devices. Positive feedback also highlights its compact size and straightforward setup process. While some users mention higher than expected fees, the device's performance is generally well-received. A notable limitation is the lack of a chip reader in some models.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Let me just say I should've googled this product before I bought it.. It worked fine at first but then I made a sale for my hair company that was about $1,800 and they closed my account and told me I had to wait 90 days for my funds to clear.. Worst product ever!! And I'm still waiting...

    The plug is too short, if you have a protective cover on your tablet or smartphone than the square doesn't plug in fully to make connection. Also, it wears out too quickly, after a short while you just swipe and swipe for it to read a card.

    This was purchased as a gift. I gave t 3 stars because it's a great idea, but the recipient hasn't set it up or used it yet - she wanted it so she could take credit cards but it may be beyond her technical abilites (don't ask) Sorry, I know this is not a helpful reveiw...

    2 Years experience. Quick and easy to use but the customer support is AWFUL!! When seeking assistance regarding account info, the communication is poor. Still awaiting emails back regarding my account. “Waiting MORE than 6 Months, after multiple phone calls and Emails”
