  • Game-Changer for My Business! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Style: Lightning Connector
The Square Reader for Magstripe with the Lightning connector has been an absolute lifesaver for my business! As a small business owner, having a reliable and portable card reader is essential, and this little device delivers in every way. Setting it up was super easy—just plug it into my iPhone, download the Square app, and I was ready to go. It’s compact and lightweight, which makes it perfect for events, pop-ups, and even on-the-go transactions. I’ve used it for everything from quick sales to invoicing, and it hasn’t let me down once. The transaction process is smooth and fast, and my customers love the convenience of paying by card. The detailed analytics and daily sales reports on the app are also a bonus—they’ve helped me keep track of my business in a way I hadn’t before. Whether you’re a small business owner or just looking for an easy way to accept payments, I can’t recommend this product enough. Affordable, efficient, and incredibly useful—this Square Reader has been a total game-changer for me! ... show more

  • Works flawlessly
Style: USB-C
This is great to keep on hand when your Bluetooth tap or chip reader quits working unexpectedly. I have used this many times when my Bluetooth device wouldn't connect for some reason or if I forgot to charge it. Just remember that you will need to into your square settings and allow chip cards to be swiped. ... show more

  • Awkward But Useful Little Tool
Style: Headset Jack
Square spares no expense when it comes to packaging their hardware. Even the $15 dock for this item came packaged really well. The reader is well made and very sturdy. It feels like opening a high dollar Apple product with the robust box. The only issue I have come across is that pairing to another device such as another phone/tablet has to be done manually by pushing the little button on the bottom of the device. The button is recessed to stop accidentally pushing it, however, this makes it require two hands to press it, making it where you have to lay your other device down to push the button. As for connection range between the bluetooth card reader and your device running the Square App, you can expect roughly 20-25ft before the card reader is no longer able to communicate with the Square App. The card/chip reader does auto reconnect to the last used device, making using it on one device pretty straight forward and reliable. The only issue I can see at the time of writing this review is that your customers might be concerned about popping their charge card in a handheld device that is not familiar to them. People trust cell phones/tablets more then a pocket sized device they have never seen before. ... show more
