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.

    Bought a new phone and existing square did not work. New square works very well, better than the original. The floor supervisor suggested this fix and couldn't be happier.

    Square is a good option for credit card sales while on the go. This reader usually takes more than one swipe to read the card but I have always been able to make it work within 4-5 tries. You just need to slow down and swipe consistently through.
