Square

If your a Small businesses then Square is for you! Look closely at this little item.

Square is an amazing application for the iPhone, iPad and Android that allows users to accept payments anywhere with their smartphones. Have you been on the road, away from the office, meeting with a client and need a payment for your services, or want to sell your product(s), are you going to ask for a check or cash?

Gone are those days, hardly anyone carries their check book around with them, and why bother with all those outdated methods of payments or the worry of walking around with hard cash in your pocket, or that check which may bounce when you can simply swipe their credit card with the Square, and within seconds confirm the payment went through.

Get the Square and you then have the power in your hands as well as not having to worry about running to the bank before it closes/sending those invoices/billing 30 days out. The Square provides an instant payment, which is a win, win situation for both the client and yourself.

Making money just got easier with the Square Credit Card Reader. Get aboard, get yours today, you won't be disappointing, I'm not!

Transparent Pricing

Signing up is free and the Square device is sent to you free of charge also. What's the catch I hear you say? No catch, it's true, Squarehas limited costs as well as not introducing a contract, or have any of those horrible hidden fees. If you would like a full cost analysis, please visit the Square website, but in short:

1. 2.75% + 15¢ per swipe for Visa, MasterCard, Discover and AmEx.

2. There is no merchant account, or monthly fees or even set-up costs, I say again, No merchant account, monthly fees or set-up costs!

3. If you manually enter cards that cost slightly increases to 3.5% + 15¢ per transaction.

That's all there is to it, It's that simple. If your mobile, or your business sells products and or service packages at events, shows, farmers markets etc, or how would you like to provide garage sale goers the choice of using their credit card, then the Square is the device is for you.

The Square reader is a small white square with a groove in it, of which is where you swipe the credit card that's to be charged.

It's about the width of a quarter, and plugs straight into your phone/iPad's headphone jack.

I carry this tiny device around with me in my pocket all the time, in fact, had I not had this the other day, I would have lost out on a $280 sale!. :-)
