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 reader works fine. It would be even better if the gave a bit more room when using a cover on my phone. The merchandising rates for use are less than the banks want to charge. The software is a also easy to use.

    A car club I am in holds a charity auction every year. We were always getting asked if we take credit cards. Well, this year we did. Worked very well and increased bidding on several items. More than offset the small fee involved.

    As a small business owner, the square credit card is a great opportunity to open up your network and accept credit cards without the big over head processing fees. You only pay fees when you use it.

    Like no monthly fee. Good for back up or if you don’t do much processing. Customers service is limited if you have a problem. If you process over 1000 a month you would be best to look at a full service merchant processor

    Great lil machine a lot easier to work then those old bulky credit card machines. Sometimes glitch when you don't have Wi-Fi or cell signals but you can still do charges and have the option to charge later when you get a signal
