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 have had some trouble using the reader, and the previous one I also had because the mobile swipe is very choosy for if and when it wants to work. The square register mount for an iPad is much better

    Overall the device worked perfectly fine with an Android 6.0 device with no issues. The device requires for location to be activated and depending on the device you are using can cause considerable battery consumption.

    It is a good product, but does not read the strip on the card easily. I have to swipe the card two or three times for it to be read.

    The cost is almost half of what the bank charges to process credit card payments. I didn't have to scheduled an Installation and the little bit I paid for the swiper was refunded into my account. So far I'm a very happy customer.

    The unit appears to work as it is supposed to work. The biggest issue that we had was getting to set up screen to accept signatures. Found what we needed on You Tube and all seems well.

    It's a card reader. It does that just fine. Fees are ok. Did receive the purchase price as a account credit which was nice.
