Anybody using Square to take credit card payments?

I just got the square to plug into my smart phone to take credit (I am assuming it does debit also?) card payments at our booth. So my question is does anyone use this? Have any issues?

Here you go!

I've been using it for years and LOVE it!

oh good glad to hear that! I am really excited to be able to take other forms of payment.

I just saw a commercial for this on TV and was wondering the same thing!! Is it worth the 2.5% per charge? do you add on a processing fee? or just let it ride? I'm thinking this would be a GREAT add on to our business, but I just have to convince the boss (mom). :/

If it's that or nothing--definitely! Great for the cash-poor segment!

I use something similar here in Canada (same rate, but there's a $2.99/month fee as well). I'm definitely finding it worth the small fees. I get all my deposits immediately upon booking and we've even been able to catch a few extra face paintings at events where the ATM has run out of cash.

Perry, what is the canadian one called?

PAYD www.getpayd.com I think is the website

Thanks Miss Perry, I am checking it out...I need to upgrade to a smartphone now anyway.

I wonder if we have anything like this down here in NZ. Not that I have a smartphone yet, but for the future. Kiwis are hopeless at carrying cash. We have eftpos EVERYWHERE so we're just not used to it anymore.

I got PAYD and can't get it to work on my phone . There isn't a number to call for tech help, have to read or email Anyone else have trouble getting it set up? I got my approval email with the links but just won't let me log in...says my password is incorrect

Dear veelux:
email the tech support team and they get back to you quickly. They are very clear in their instructions.

I use Square...I love it...never had a problem getting money in my account. Works great for deposits over the phone...although the 2.7% is not that bad they do charge 15 cents to put in a manual transaction. It is customizable to your own biz. I change out pics seasonally...also if you have an iPad it can be set up like a cash register. I tried PayAnywhere once...took 3-4 days before I saw money...I usually have the deposit in my account by the time I get home. It is so easy my 11 y/o daughter does all the transactions....people think it is very cool.

Thanks Fess Painter..I did and they replied. I got the device in the mail and did the demo and it worked very well. I am totally ready for Chinese New Year booking now! I am so stoked!

It's the best thing I've ever done. I always end up getting extra clients at festivals because they don't need cash.
