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.

    I bought this for my brother in law because he was heading to a book fair to sell his new book. He sold a fair few copies and got his name out there which is good. Might not have been possible without square for people to use their credit card. People just don’t use cash anymore

    Worked great at the huge flea market where I was a vendor. I only do this one market a year, so I didn't have to invest a lot of money to be able to collect from credit cards. Worked great, and I had my money deposited into my account in 2 days!!

    Works perfectly, makes it easy to sell my stuff now that I can accept cards instead of cash only. Easy to use, just plug in, open app, type the amount to charge, swipe and done. Highly recommend

    I left my Square at home and was traveling out of state. Thus, I was very happy to find this item at Best Buy in time for my event. Works great and I like that the money is automatically transferred to me without me having to go in to request.

    It's so easy to keep the square reader in my purse. I love the option of being able to take a credit cared, while working an Usborne Books and More Book Fair. There are many options with square that I haven't even tired yet. If you are looking for something user friendly, this would be perfect for you.

    If you have a business or a friend who has a business and they don't take credit cards, or even if they do, this was a great great buy. We should have done this long ago since it really helps us when were out on a job and can take credit card right there! Buy it. No, really buy this and expand your business.

    I sell on Facebook, garage sales and the flea market and the Square Reader is a great way to take credit cards and make more sales. No more customers asking you to hold something while they go get cash - they can pay and take the item right then. Easy to use and money is in your account in no time.

    I've always saw commercials about the square reader but wasn't sure if it really works or how Mich I'll be charged for using. Since purchasing I can accept cards from my customers which makes it more convenient for them as well as myself.

    I wish I had gotten this earlier. A very simple way to professionally accept credit and debit cards. I have accepted payments on my Galaxy S4 and helps make me look more professional since I don't have a brick and mortar store. Highly recommended.

    Easy way to collect payments and get helpful reports. There is both a mobile and web user interface that can be used to maximize business transactions. This is an invaluable tool for anyone starting a small business or just wanting to offer a credit card payment method for customers.

    I realized I needed a second square card reader when the one I ordered online didnt ship quickly enough for my art show. The ease of use and the immediate link-up with the iPad app made this my most valuable tool during a two-hour trunk show. As good as it gets for mobile purchase platforms!

    Its nice to have just incase people owe you money they can pay with a card. Also if your starting a business the square app is so much more than just a card reader. It can manage your reviews, employees, registers, and transactions.
