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).

    We own a bbq food trailer. And we did a whole lot of research in to mobile payment systems. A friend told me about square readers. Used it the first time and fell in love. Soon we will be getting the onboard square register.

    I purchased Square - Magstripe Reader to sell merchandise at a all volunteer yoga event and it worked great. I wish everything was this easy to use. Just remember to place the reader fat side down and the card face up. Otherwise it won't read.

    We have a small business and we required to accept card payments.Square Reader facilitated the transactions seamlessly. Works with the chip cards to (I mean it allows swiping the chip cards). Fix transactions charges and no hidden fees. Working like charm with iPhone 5.

    The $10 Square works, but you have to hold it carefully to keep it from slipping around when swiping, otherwise you get a failed credit card swipe. The $50 square is bigger and probably wouldn’t have tat issue but it’s $50
