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 run a small online business, but I tend to do pop up shops every now and then. This card reader is great for those times or when I am on the go. It’s easy set and small enough to wear I can keep my phone in my pocket with no problems. I actually have two now because I loved it so much. One for my iPhone and one for my android tablet.

    In a pinch, I needed to replace my lost Square reader. Best Buy had the best price. Back to business as usual immediately for under ten bucks!

    These come in very handy if you need to process CC payments using a mobile device. Plus, Best Buy had these on for under $7! Great item.
