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.

    The square card reader and the free square account are a perfect solution for my small business. I needed to be able to take credit/debit card payments and square made it possible for a very reasonable price.

    I've lost the ones square sent me or they've quit working due to age. I love being able to go grab in store during girl scout cookie season when I needed it the most.

    This card reader is portable enough for me to place in my wallet and have readily available for those payments at the craft shows that I attend. Customers enjoy being able to use a card instead of using their available cash on hand. A must tool for the small business owner.

    I bought this item for my dads business, a fee is required to activate the account but after that payments take a few days to enter your bank, it is optional to get it immediately but purchase is necessary. It was so cheap for such a useful item.

    This is great for small business owners and makes taking payments way easier. As a caterer it is way easier to get paid same day with this as it is getting a check and cashing it.

    I bought this item to use when I have garage sales, yard sales and when I work side jobs. Sometimes people like myself do not carry cash and rather pay using card in which this reader allows!

    I can't believe I waited so long to finally get a Square. And how many sales we missed because we couldn't do credit cards. Square is perfection: Minimal design, small and elegantly efficient.

    Best card reader in the market for on the go transactions. No monthly fees and the funds are in your bank account the next day. I have been using this device for about 2 years now. Go ahead and give it a try.

    I bought 2 Square readers. I have used PayPal for some time. I never could get the PayPal reader to work well. I have switched too the square and it is so much easier to use. Good product.

    I used this to primarily sell Girl Scout cookies and make it easier for our customers.... evidently we had to swipe the card a few times to actually get the job done right. I can not verify if it was the card or location tho. But we loved using it.
