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.

    The Square Card Reader is just plain awesome! If you're a small business owner who needs to make credit card transactions you'll love this. Don't bother going to a bank and opening a merchant account. Just download the app and get started.

    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

    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.
