I have square on my droid and I love it - can take a payment anywhere, get my money fast and no contract. Plus people think it's way cool....
 
SquareUp

My stepbrother told me about SquareUp over the Christmas holidays. He actually had the Android attachment and demonstrated a sale. It was fascinating. It's my understanding there's no limit, just a per-transaction fee plus a percentage. Not sure of all the particulars.
 
I have merchant services for my sales and to be honest, it was the worst decision I have made as of yet. The fees keep going up and when I call to get an explanation, they give you the run around. The online account access is hard to figure out and now they are charging me 8.00 per month just for a statement regardless if you have had sales or not. I can't wait to get out of this deal :( I might have to try this Square and see what it is all about. I would love to us it with my Iphone but how does it work with online sales?
 
I use a similar product to Square. It's called RoamPay. Same concept as square--you use a card swiper that attaches to your phone. I'm not sure how the costs compare to Square, but I pay $5.00 a month for the wireless gateway, $5.00 service fee and 1.69% and $.25. There are no minimums, set up fees, annual fees, cancellation fees, etc. This is way cheaper than when I was using an actual wireless terminal.

Let me know if you want the contact info for the lady who set it up. She was great!
 
Square is fantastic

I use it with my iphone and it works fantastic. It does depend on your cell reception so know that going in. You can find them at www.squareup.com .
 
So for those who don't use a wireless gadgety thing... do you ever find problems with any of the cards used once you go home and submit them?
Just curious so I can make a good decision when the time comes.
 
I guess this doesn't work for blackberry?

I do have paypal for online, but wondering the most economical for doing a craft show next month.
 
a man from FirstData.com comes into my job offering services. I don't know much about their pricing but its something for yall to look at.
 
I'll have to check it out. I am looking for something to use for flea markets and craft shows, but I don't need a big robust item just yet until I make my millions... :p
