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 bought a square reader as mine hadn't arrived (new account) and I had an event. The instructions were simple and its use amazingly easy. I'm thrilled with my purchase.

    First of all, this product is basically free because Square reimburses you for the purchase as soon as you activate your account. It makes it super easy to accept credit card payments.

    The square app was easy to set up and they sent me a $10 rebate which entirely offset the cost of the card reader. Made it simple to accept card st my garage sale.

    SQUARE is an excellent way of transacting business. I used it to receive payment for services. It went directly to the bank account in a short period of time. It is so easy to use.
