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 just works, download the app from the Apple iTunes App Store or Google Play Store. I use it for my iPhone 6 Plus, iPad 2nd Gen, and Galaxy S3. Also Square will give you credit for your reader purchase when you set up a checking account for deposits.

    I really did not want to have to take credit cards and mess with card readers or a processing company. But after reading reviews and talking to a few people that were using square, I decided to give it a try. The company reimbursed me for the purchase of the reader and even offered to waive fees for the first $1000 so I really had nothing to lose. The first day I had multiple sales that may not have happened if I didn't except credit cards. Excepting the cards was very easy to do on my smart phone and the company made the deposits of the funds in about 24 hours. So far I'm very pleased that I purchased and signed up for Square.

    We purchased this item on Amazon and it didn't work. My wife needed it to process credit/debit payments at a fundraising event. Bought this one at Best Buy and it works great. It made our financial transactions perfectly smooth for our event.

    I purchased this for girl scout cookie time and it worked wonders. Easy setup and you can carry anywhere. Without this little gadget we would have missed some very good sales especially now a days that people don't carry cash.

    As I recently started taking credit cards for payments, I needed a card reader. I looked at several of them and chose the Square reader. So, far I have no complaints and I look forward to this device being a part of my business for a long while.

    I put the app on my phone and the account administrator for my organization sent me a code to enter. I plugged this into the headphone jack of my phone and I was able to take credit card sales.

    We used it for the Texas National Guard FRG Fund raiser and it made it possible for the unit to raise enough money for family day. The app that came with was fast to deposit and setup records.
