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 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.

    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.

    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.

    After testing the square reader out I was pleasantly surprised to see that on the box it shows a promotion where if you type the code given to you in the box on the square website, you get $10 deposited into your bank account.

    I got this for my grandfather, a craftsman that works festivals and fairs, for his birthday. He's not technology savvy, but because it's so easy to use, it's helped him expand his business. He can now accept credit cards and his business has doubled.

    This is the same card reader you can get for free from Square, but I bought it at Best Buy so that I didn't have to wait to receive the free one in the mail. Square is a great way to take credit cards from your smart phone or tablet.

    I already had a square card reader but I had left it at home. Ran into Best Buy and picked up a new one. Love the fact that I just had to plug it into my Ipad and go.

    I have no complaints about the Square card reader at this point. It will be replaced within 3-4 months because of the changes in security requirements so Durability isn't a huge concern for me at this point but it has worked flawlessly so far.

    I had been using a traditional card reader with processing fees, pci compliance and network access fees. Not anymore! Square has eliminated the hoops and I get reports along with the ability of tracking return customers. It's empowering.
