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).

    I ordered a square reader from Square company but it was not the correct one. Fortunately Best Buy had the one I needed in stock to pick up the next day. Although the process to get in line for curbside was a little confusing, it worked out well in the end. Very efficient curbside service...with a smile!
