Customer Ratings & Reviews

This reader is a very reliable device and so quick a simple to use. Only minutes to hook up to your phone and start using. Have had no problems and very inexpensive to use and it is quick and you can send the person a receipt right away.

I am a small business owner, I need a easy carry machine to accept credit card. So I noticed the square. It is good, when you buy this from anywhere, contact square u can get 10 dollars back.

I bought my square to sell products at a concert. It was as easy a process as can be. The staff at Best Buy gave a great summery in how it worked! Love it!!

The Square card reader with the 3.5mm plug is so easy to use.

I needed the product in order to receive credit card payments for my small business. I searched on line for places that carried the product. I liked the idea that I could get best buy rewards for the purchase from Best Buy.

I needed something to help me with sales at an event. The Square was recommended and I found it at the local Best Buy. I purchased it for about $8, but with the perk of a $10 deposit from Square to my bank account. The installation was simple and it worked at my event on my Android phone. I could not, however, get it to work on my HP tablet. I don't know why, but I think it had to do with HP and proprietary rights to their apps, because I could not download the app. I'm not sure why and was in too big of a hurry to explore with HP. As it turned out I only needed the square for two transactions. I was grateful to have it and was not bothered by the percentage they earned on my sales. I'm hoping that for my next event I find a way to get it to work on my HP device.

It’s a easy way to take payments for your business.

I am the PTO President for my daughters elementary school. Last year we had numerous family members asking if we accepted credit/debit card payments so they were able to purchase our shirts. I had to turn away hundreds of dollars because we only had the capability to accept cash or check. After reviewing the details on the Square Device, I knew it would be the perfect fit for us. We used it, for the first time, at our kindergarten through 2nd grade open house event last week and it worked miracles! We were able to sell over $50 in Just credit card sales! That may not seem like a lot to some, but we are the most poverty stricken school in our district, so being able to sell over $25 at one of our events, is a big deal for us. I highly recommend the Square device. It is so easy to use.

I was so glad they were carried at Best Buy. I needed a few different ways to process payments at my book table, and this did the trick.

This Item helps me it’s very easy to use and you can connect to your device

Affordable alternative to having a credit card terminal. I love that best buy has these square readers in stock, because as a traveling artist sometimes I forget to pack my square reader. Its convenient and affordable to pick one up at the best buy nearest ti whatever city I'm un at the time.

Great for self employed, small enough to carry anywhere, simple set up on phone for people to sign and even tip. If you like to sell stuff on websites this would be great since most people don't carry cash and don't have to take trip to bank

We wanted to add the option of credit cards for our sports association. Previously we were a cash only organization. This is by far the fastest and easiest way to get set up. We created the online account, added our accounts, installed the app (android) and were up and going in under an hour. Could not have been easier. Couple of issues, but nothing that I would take a star for. First off, when you swipe move quickly but not lightning speed. Trying to swipe too fast gives us a read error every time. Same with going too slow. Second, and this is not the fault of the manufacturer, if you have a case of your phone you may have to remove it for the reader to be fully inserted. I had to take the one off my S10. This seems to apply mostly to the Otter type cases and the like. Thin flexible ones don't seem to have the same issue. Overall I love this reader. Price is perfect, functions reliably and does what it is supposed to do. Great product!

Because I did not renew my brick-and-mortar office space in a shopping center, I needed a way to allow my clients to pay with their credit/debit card. This works well. I just stick it in my purse whenever I leave to meet with a client.

So I wasn’t sure if this would work for me . I have a iPhone 8+ which doesn’t have a headphone jack . The iPhone 8 comes with lighting headphones with a dongle to connect older headphones to lighting. So I used that dongle and it works . Set up is easy and quick and the small cut square takes is not bad . I used this for a garage sale and it helped me sell big ticket items . The app works well too and it only takes a few days to get transactions. The only issue is swiping with credit card is not straight forward, my customers didn’t know which way worked . It should have some icon or direction pointing the way . We figured it all out and it was all good . I definitely would recommend this to everyone who does garage sales or business digitally .

The Square - Card Reader - White, was purchased in an emergency situation as my old square unit was discovered to be old, outdated, and no longer worked for processing cards with the Square service. Best Buy was able to supply me with this newly updated model for a cheap price so I didn't have to wait 4-6 weeks for Square to send me the free one. PROS - Quick setup - Easy usage - Updated to current Square technology requirements CONS - Does not accept RFID Chips, Cards must still have Magnetic Strip to work - Not compatible with iPhone 7 or above unless you have an adapter due to the 3.5mm headphone jack requirement, but works well with the adapter - Not free like when ordering from Square directly, however it is a quick and cheap alternative if you need it faster than waiting for shipping from Square

I absolutely love this product! It was bought to accept credit cards for some fundraisers I was involved with, and boy did it work! Most people don't carry much cash on them, but do have a card. Setting up a Square account was easy and I also got a $10 credit for buying the Square reader and being a new customer. The reader is super easy to use and small enough that I can keep it in my purse for whenever it's needed. You just plug it into the audio jack and sign into your account. I also love that the package comes with a sticker that shows you accept credit cards. That is something people look for when shopping at markets and fundraisers. I ended up buying 2 readers so another person can help run charges and keep the lines going.

I really did not want to have to take credit cards and mess with card readers or a processing company. But after reading reviews and talking to a few people that were using square, I decided to give it a try. The company reimbursed me for the purchase of the reader and even offered to waive fees for the first $1000 so I really had nothing to lose. The first day I had multiple sales that may not have happened if I didn't except credit cards. Excepting the cards was very easy to do on my smart phone and the company made the deposits of the funds in about 24 hours. So far I'm very pleased that I purchased and signed up for Square.

I love these. My business is mostly on the road so it's nice to have something so compact and easy to use. So much ease of use for waiting customers. As I said above, I've bought a lot for business and most have been fine I've only had a couple maybe out of 20 break/stop working - for example one had the headphone jack come out. But I think a lot is how it's stored, they're pretty sturdy and reliable. I don't think I've had any problems with this specific one. Just plug it into the headphone jack of your device and slide the credit card through. So much easier than the large cumbersome wired but portable credit card machines I've used in the past. Great buy/idea.

I am So glad I decided to buy this item it has been a godsend. It is very Easy to use and to set up. Plus it is such a great size to take any where you go!! It is such an awesome piece of equipment to have. It is Great for any small business owner.
