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.

    Only gave it 4 stars because like so many other accesories that plugoes into your phone you need to remove your case (otterbox) it would be nice if they made the plug a bit longer to accomodate this or some.sort of an extender.

    Great item to have for on the go credit card transactions and to use. Service fee can be a bit much and takes 2 days for money to hit.

    This is a replacement for my first free one. The design is much sturdier and I use it all day for ringing up my sales and services as a hair designer.

    I like using the square for Girl Scout Cookie Booth sales. By setting a minimum to use it, because of the fee, we sell more!

    I needed a few more of these for event registration and the best part is they give you a code inside that gives you a credit on your square account for the amount you purchase them for. Unfortunately it's only one per account.
