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.

    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.

    Simple and easy to use. Requires a Square account, which is free. Makes it nice to accept credit & debit cards anywhere you can use your smartphone.

    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 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.

    Purchased two squares to use at work for various charity events. The convenience of allowing fellow coworkers to purchase their auction items, event tickets and so forth has been incredibly well received. Set up was quick and easy with Square.

    We have a craft business where we travel to different locations and we are able to accept credit card transactions no matter where we hold an event. Must have if your hobby or business is on the go or if you have limited space.

    I am very happy to use Square in my small business. Not only is it an affordable Point of Sale system to start out, but now that I am 6 months in I can look at the numbers and say for sure that it saves me a lot in monthly fees.

    great, easy to use system and interface. fortunately there are best buys everywhere so if you lose or forget your card reader, you can get another one for just $10. Also, square will refund you the $10.

    Worked perfect for taking credit/debit cards. It's easier for people to buy higher priced items with their card than walking around with cash. A friend recommended "the square" reader to me and I'm so glad I took her advice.
