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.

    Overall this was pretty easy to set up, but we had to figure out on our own why it wasn't working and that was because we had to disable the headphone jacket for looking for headphones and instead look for the square. After that no trouble. Still trying to get our rebate though so....

    The mini square reader is really a great tool for easy transaction that we enjoyed and benefited a lot during our church conference event to collect donations using credit cards.

    I originally purchased the square reader that does mag strips and chips, but couldn't get it to work correctly in an Android tablet or an iPad. However, this one works perfectly every time.

    Being able to accept credit cards in person rather than just for online sales is essential for my business. The Square Card Reader has been great! Very easy to set-up and use. It has been very dependable.

    The Square makes it so easy to do business at trade shows. Easy and efficient. Makes the deposit and produces reports that show up in my inbox. Even emails a receipt to the customer.
