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 couldn't delay in having a Square to use, so waiting for a free one from the company via US mail wouldn't work. Bought it at Best Buy and still got is for "free" using redemption code.

    The app works great, this device works flawlessly with it. The only draw back (of your phone) is it won't work without a headphone jack. They do make one that works with bluetooth.

    These little babies are becoming more difficult to find. Thankfully, Best Buy had one and we were able to get things up and running again. Our old one had worn out.

    The product I purchased was great but my curbside pickup was the worst experience I've ever had.

    I can take my square reader anywhere potential customers are and the swipe rate is pretty much the same as the merchant account on my point-of-sale system. A must buy for anyone selling any type of goods.

    Having the Square made our estate sale a success!! We sold at least 50 percent more by having the Square. Money was in our account on Monday from the Friday thru Sunday sale.

    I needed a reader in two days.. I ordered it about 8:30 p.m. and was able to pick it up the next day. I downloaded the app and plugged it into my phone and worked perfectly. Thanks.

    This Square card reader is the best gadget a small business could have. I’d totally recommend this device to anyone who is out there and has started their own small business.

    Best way to accept credit/debit cards. Hassle free, no credit check, no extra equipment, no phone lines, no extra wireless machine or fees. Deposits are fast and the fees are great compared to others.

    The Square card reader is a great addition and allows taking cards vs cash or waiting for a check to clear. After registering with Square they sent a back up reader.

    Bought this to try it out, and it works fine. Sometimes it doesn't read on the first swipe. It's kind of useless now because iPhones don't have 3.5mm ports anymore.

    I purchased this to work with an old Samsung tablet to receive payments for the school concessions. It serves its purpose but you will need to hold it while swiping a card. It’s not very sturdy.

    The Square is a great item for sales! It helped me get sales that I would not have gotten without Square. People do not always carry cash, and want to use their credit card.
