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.

    This is amazing for me because I'm a stylist and at my salon clients can't tip with card which is why I got this square.

    I've used credit card machines before, but I love the simplicity of Square for a small business. It actually saves money, because you're only charged for your actual swipes; no monthly fees.

    I tried this out Sunday July 30 at a motorcycle swap meet in Long Beach. It worked well but was a little slow. My customers viewed my having this device as an indication of professionalism.
