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.

I have to swipe many times before it goes through
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product would be a lot better if it worked more efficiently.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Square
Posted .Hmm it should swipe easily. If you have a case on your phone, sometimes it'll not allow for the card reader to be plugged in fully. We'd also recommend this reader troubleshooting: squ.re/MagstripeTips.

This probably is a great item BUT..
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is probably a great device for small businesses but I don't like the fact that it asks for a lot of financial and tax related information. In this day and time I guess it is impossible to keep a majority of the amount of money you receive from a side business from the government. That is why I give this product a poor rating. If it were not for that this would get 5 stars. I just prefer some form of privacy.

Disappointed with BestBuy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even though the "commercials" claim BestBuy helps with all of the products they sell, this was not the case with the "SQUARE." There was no one that could give any information as to how the square worked with the iPad also purchased at BestBuy.

Posted .Really sorry you had trouble with learning how to use your magstripe reader. We have Support Center articles on: www.squareup.com/help or videos on Youtube under our Square account if you're a more visual learner. The magstripe reader plugs into your phone and is ready to accept payments as soon as you download the Point of Sale app.

THIS SQUARE does NOT work with Android -
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sales guys (2 of 'em) description for this device specifically says it will work with Android. The printed material enclosed specifically says there is no way this device will work with anything OTHER THAN I-devices. Sure it's only $9.99, but I had a long drive to get it, and now I am stuck hand entering cc numbers for 2 days of sales. Simple mistake with a HUGE impact on me.

Posted .We're sorry to hear about your experience purchasing Square hardware. Most Android devices running the latest version of Android OS are supported — as long as they also have a 3.5mm headphone jack or USB-C port and location services. We'd be more than happy to assist you with this. Reach out here when you get a chance: squ.re/contact

Account refused
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to take credit cards every once in a while but after dancing all over trying to get it set up, I was not approved for an account as they could not verify who I was. I have been me for over 52 years and have used other services but stopped. I am told that once you are refused by their automatic system, you are banned for life. They could not explain why I was refused and there are no means to try again. Threw it in the trash.

dissapointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It didn't work by touch or slide the credit card, had to type in credit card & I was charged 3.6% + .15. I was informed by the sales person that Square churches were 2.6% +.10..... I was disappointed.

Phenominal Product - Amazed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm stunned at how well this product works. First, they refund the $10 investment 24 hours after you purchase this product. It links directly to a bank account and allows you to charge credit cards with a reasonable fee (don't forget you are not paying anything for the account and there are no monthly fees). The device itself is small enough to fit in a pocket and pull out when you need to run a card. There is a bit of a trick to get it to swipe - you swipe and pull up at the last bit - almost 30 degrees - works everytime. We are using this at a charity event - first time we are able to accept credit cards instead of checks/cash - people love it. The receipt is either Emailed or TXT to the purcahser - they not only get a full receipt but a copy of their signature and a GPS location / Map. More than anyone would need - plus, if there is fraud, you'd know where the person was. Can't say enough about this product, great job!
