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.

    I just bought an additional reader to have on hand. Wonderful product and service to go with it, I do 80% of my billing with it, payment is in the bank the next day! Great tool to maintain cashflow at a reasonable fee.

    Loved It Until I Realized the Cost

    Initially I loved my Square and found it very handy for processing credit transactions. This would have remained the case had I had small volumes of transactions. But as my transactions grew I came to realize that there were cheaper solutions for me to use. I am currently using another remote swipe system that saves me nearly half of the Square fee. So if you have small volumes of transactions... Square works. Once you get some volume, beware

    The square is known and trusted by the client. I had no trouble with the software or the device. The interest is perfect and the transfer time to bank is okay.
