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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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!

    Good product. Works well. Only issue is it loses connection if you have an older device and some times the scans don't always go through the first time
