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.

    It's great this card reader is free because the transaction charges are little high but it's so easy to use I allow for the charges due to the conscience factor. People carry their debit/credit cards without any cash so often that this helps keep the money coming in and not having to wait for checks to clear the bank. I recommend using it to supplement any very small business when there's less than 100 card transactions a month. Anything more than that you would benefit from a contract.

    I was able to process my first credit card transaction with ease using the Square. Great product. 4 stars because of the 2.75% transaction charge.

    A must have business tool

    It's a must have for a business that is not a brick n mortar. Or even if it is a brick n mortar. It's a great cheap way to take payments. Super easy app to use. And secure encryption when processing the card. There is a % charge for transaction. Also cool is that they will credit back the cost of the reader. Double check to make sure it's still the same.

    If you have Square- get as backup!

    These are great for backup when the square readers stop connecting and you are having a busy day. These plug into the microphone jack, and you can use for cards that have no chip. You just plug in, allow access to microphone, and go. No connecting other than that! This not only saves you time, but now you don't have to ask customer for billing zip code. Also swiping is cheaper then inputing it yourself! So smart to get one of these even if you think you won't use!

    We were selling Girl Scout cookies at the mall and people kept asking if we took credit cards. Finally I went to the Best Buy Mobile down the hall and bought a Square. It didnt connect wirh my Otterbox case so I had to buy a thinner case. But once I did that set-up took about 5 min and we were accepting credit cards for cookies. The money was deposited the next day imto the troop account. It really made cookie seasom a lot easier!

    The Square reader ($10 at a store but Square reimburses you when you set up an account) is a very good solution for processing transactions via Square, especially for a small business and they have best in market rates. Amazing free online reporting and tools. If you want a more substantial permanent solution with improved employee transaction tracking capabilities, try their new all-in-one Square Register.
