Square Card Reader Update
Can I just tell you how much I love this little Square Card Reader!! I was able to download the app to my iphone, create my account, process a transaction (even without a physical credit card...customer order was over the phone) and have the money deposited into my checking account all within 24 hours! Oh, and I was in the car traveling, hubby was driving of course :) How sweet is that? There is just a small one time fee per swipe/transaction, about the same as my etsy shop, and that is it. It is so nice to be able to offer the option of credit card payments to my customers. I'll keep you posted as my Square journey continues. I purchased mine at Target for $10 and when I created my account on line, Square deposited that right back into my account the next day. You can also check it out on Amazon, I've put a link on my side bar here. Well, that's it, easy peasy :) I've also put links for a couple of Kelly Rae's products that I'm drooling for! I love my little journal so much I'm afraid to write in it and mess it all up lol!!!!

most excellent! what is the fee? i have used paypal and i think the fee is 2.9%
ReplyDeleteThe fees are 2.75% per swipe or 3.5% for manual entering. I use Paypal too but I am loving this option!
DeleteWow, I have been trying to get the biz account with PayPal so I can get the swipe thing they have it's a long process. This sounds so easy I might try it instead.
ReplyDeleteIt really is that easy! ;)
DeleteWhat a cool thing!!!

ReplyDeleteGlad to Marjie! It really is super easy & convenient!
Deletei got one of these for free awhile back, but hadn't used it. this past weekend i was at an apple orchard and they were using it to swipe cards for entrance to their apple picking. looked like it was working really well. glad to hear you liked it as well. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn, thanks for stopping by. I think you will really like it when the time comes. There is a small fee per swipe but, sometimes people don't have cash and checks are almost a thing of the past these days. Plus with checks, sometimes you never know. I want to go apple picking too! Lol
DeleteMy husband had the chance to use one recently while helping at an event. It was pretty cool according to him. I will have to see if our local target has them. I am thinking about it, but not sure if I really need it or not, as of yet.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, I wasn't sure that I would need it at the moment I bought it, and surprisingly enough just two days later I did lol. It's nice to have on hand, and really is very easy to use & set up. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteShelly, this tool is terrific! I found out about it from my hairstylist. I was amazed how easy check out was. I'm thinking you really need this with your super cute creations!
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan!!!! :)
DeleteWow! What a great little gadget! This is a must to check out! :) I love your blog, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Indigene! Thanks for checking my blog out! Definitely check out the square. I think this is going to be huge for my business since we travel so much. Hey, I must say I really am encouraged by your idea of getting a canvas and throwing fabric over it! Genius! I am going to do that! :)
