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.

    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

    Works OK for Square charging on appropriate mobile equipment. Swiping the card through the device can be "tricky."

    Before getting the square, we had to carry the big credit card machine around with us. Also with the square, credit card transactions are processed immediately, not like the machine that had to be downloaded at a later time.
