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 Reader works exactly as described. Opened up my box and immediately started taking orders and swiping cards. Registration is easy and the fee is reasonable.

    Purchased for my sales at crocheting events. The test went well easy to set up, but the true test will be when payment is taken and how smoothly it goes.
