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).

    With all the new updates to the app this is the best mobile pay swiper. Works great! Wish they made a carrying case for it though. I lost my old one.

    I bought this to,facilitate selling some items on Craig's List as I don't trust taking personal checks and wanted to make the transactions easy for all involved. It works fine.

    Great credit card processor! This square card reader makes my life so much easier! The best part is there's no monthly charge. The rates are low and so worth the convenience!

    This is a great way to accept credit cards, especially when people owe you money, or want to buy something from you and say, "I'm outta cash." Out comes the square, and in comes the money. In areas of bad cell reception, it can take a LONG time to get the transaction approved.

    I tend bar and the system uses a square card reader. Multiple employees share one soon bought my own. Syncs up every time and reads card easily.

    The Square card reader is very handy for accepting credit card payments, but beware it can be finicky sometimes when swiping cards. You don't have any alternatives save getting a different square reader.

    Since the law now says we are supposed to have chip readers I was more than a little surprised to discover this is NOT enabled. Very disappointing to spend all that money and now STILL have to upgrade.

    I love the square. It's great for business especially when a person says I only have a card. Pull out your square and continue on with business.

    This is a nice tool to use as a backup payment plan for my business. I do prefer to just use the card photo option which is part of the square account as you have to hold this reader from swiveling around in the headphone jack while you swipe the card

    I will it. I would caution you to set it up correctly the first time. If you need customer service or support I did not find it easy to get hold off. Looks like you need a code to get to speak to them.
