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.

    Used for my wife’s Etsy business. Works flawlessly and has a nifty offline mode in the included software which allows you to collect the transactions and once you’re back to WiFi or internet the transactions will automatically go through.

    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.

    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!
