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 only smarter thing I've done is become incorporated! This has made my client base grow--being able to accept credit cards and debit cards. Yes, the fees stick, but what do you expect? I really like being able to take credit card payments over the phone if I need to!

    Bought this last minute for a vendor event I did and it worked out great! So many people asked if I took cards so it is nice to have this on hand. The fees are not crazy either and it calcs the sales tax for you.

    Love being able to use this without the hefty bank fees attached. Getting a SquareUp account will save a few hundred dollars each month in Merchant Fees. But, Had trouble inserting a client's card to read the little chip. Card didn't fit... so had to manually enter the CC numbers adding the 3.5% + 15 cents to usage fee instead of paying the regular 2.7%. Still cheaper than Bank of America Bank Fees.

    I was not sure if I wanted to go the route with the square it took alot of convincing to get it, but overall I am happy with it, low fees per swipe and the fee is the same for American express.. The only downfall is there is no one to contact if something goes awry.
