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.

    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.

    Square app has been working fine. Only issue with this is the phone case gets in the way of the connection using this device. Would have been nice if they had taken in to account the phone case when designing these. Was able to get the $10 refund no problem for the first device, so may pick up a lightning connector version and see if that works better.

    Works great. Even better when I found out I didnt have wifi/cell coverage, and it takes swipes in offline mode & then transmits the sale later when you have coverage (some risks involved in that, but I appreciate the feature)

    My Girl Scouts are using this for their troop to sell cookies of course and other things. It works great, the app is terrific, people in Seattle just loved it when we had it for cookie selling. It's quick and the app is very user friendly my 11 yr olds were using it and set it all up.

    Needed a way to process transactions remotely and this does the trick. Square is highly rated and deservedly so. As with anything new, i needed "reliable and secure" as it pertains to ceedit card security and i couldn't be happier

    The online support for this device is very good! You can set up an itemized list of products, the cost, and just enter in each product to purchase with a tap of your finger. The website also offers income summaries, itemized summaries, and advice to drive more traffic. All works well.

    Super easy to set up and receive payments. Set up takes about 10 minutes, then you are good to go! App is user friendly and easy to understand. One flat fee rate for all cards and you get a one time credit of $10 deposited to your bank account after activation.
