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.

    Very handy. Only drawback was it only works with Apple or Android phones. Does not work with Windows or BlackBerry phones. Gave us a good excuse to buy an Ipad. Be patient, it takes a few days for money to hit the bank. And excuse the. 49 cents in and out of you Acct. Its just a test.

      It's up to you - if your device does not have a built-in port, you can purchase an adapter that enables you to connect 3.5mm audio accessories. We can also recommend the Square Reader for contactless + chip as an alternative for connecting to both Android and iOS devices (https://squ.re/2x1hCmE). SquareAU
