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.

    Bought this card reader to accept credit cards at my business and it works great. Never had any problems with it; transactions are processed pretty quick, and the funds are deposited in 1-2 days.

    The card reader worked great. It enabled more sales by being able to take different payment methods. Requires linking a bank account, and then a small percentage of each sale is taken out to pay for the service.

    I run a small booster club and Square had made the biggest difference in our sales. The interface of the website and smartphone app are so user friendly and you even get a free online store for your products as well. I love this thing!

    This is not too expensive and you get a $10 credit when you sign up. You do have to take your otter box off your phone to make it fit in the jack properly. I don't know what will happen when the new chip technology goes active everywhere. The Square chip device is NOT as inexpensive. Right now it is working for the business I have. I'm happy about that
