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.

    We lost business our first weekend at a small craft fair not being able to take credit cards. The square has been the perfect card reader for us to accept credit cards. We even accepted them for a neighboring vendor.

    It good for mobile payments with people you trust. Square won't protect you from chargebacks because its not a chip reader. Also its small so dont accidentally wash it.

    Reader works great. Nice to know you can run to BestBuy to get a new reader when you've misplaced the old one.
