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.

    It helps you do things with the thing. Plug in the thing and then swipe that baby in there and get paper.

    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.

    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.

    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 love the square card reader. It is extremely easy to use and works like a charm. Swipe a card today and have money in your account tomorrow. It is even easy to use if the credit card is not present. I am very pleased with this purchase.

    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.

    I was looking for a cc processing system that did not have a contract and that I could use for multiple purposes, but not on a regular bases. Square was easy to set up, offers more than I expected and the money is in my account within 48hrs (usually 24hrs). Very happy with this purchase.

    I purchased this product to use for my business. My customers always wanted to pay with a credit card but I had no way to accept that form of payment until I purchased this. It works great and my business has increased tremendously now that I can accept other forms of payment besides cash.

    I bought the Square Reader for our Bonsai Club so we could accept dues payments and workshop fees by credit card. It was easy to set up and is easy to use. Just another tool in the "bonsai toolbag' to make it easier for members and prospects to enjoy the art of bonsai !
