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.

    Purchased the Square Card Reader to use with our Girl Scout troop's cookie booth sales! Talk about flawless integration with the bank...makes taking credit cards so much easier. Highly recommend to anyone who does any sort of booth sales, whether for a fund raiser or side job.

    Purchased this to allow for the rare customer that wants to use a credit card. Set up was relatively easy except for the fact it is mainly for larger businesses with more complex use than a once or twice a year transaction just glad we don't pay a monthly fee to have and use. Will update after first use.

    We always have a couple of these on hand. Every once in a while, we lose one or need another. Unlike other stores, Best Buy seems to always have these in stock, which is helpful when you're in a hurry. We've used these for years and they hold up well.
