Hey Guys,
I just went here: https://squareup.com/ and signed up and it is really awesome. Provided there is an internet connection or my Data network is working, I can accept credit card payments at shows on my iPhone. This has already increased my sales. Square charges 2-3% of the sale and it is really easy. I am thrilled by it! I'm not sure if it only works with an iPhone...it definitely works with any computer.
I'm also wondering, could this be used for an online store to take credit card payments so that I do not have to go through paypal? Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
Kat
Good share Re: taking orders from shows.
I don't know the company but as is, I don't think it's a replacement for processing online. There are certain hoops you need to jump through to take orders online. They aren't too steep, but things are regulated. For example, you can't usually just store credit card information without disclosing it and being considered a "high risk" processor.And a million other minor things that apply to your set up.
With that said, I would not be shocked at all if they had an alternative for online processors. And I would also assume that Pay Flow Pro had a CC app as well. If they don't, I'm sure they will soon.
