I have a "Square" now and can take credit cards this summer season which I plan for Gold Country again.



What is your opinion of Square? I've seen the ads for it, but I'm

wanting to know if it is as straight forward as they make it sound?

Aside from the 2.75% per transaction fee, are there any other fees or

hurdles to use one? An end user perspective is what I'm interested in.

Thanks.

Well, I heard about it so I went to their website. There was no in-depth explanation and they just wanted me to sign up so they could send me the device. It surprised me because getting a normal merchant account requires quite an approval process with the bank. I poked around a little then signed up..

They sent the square. I configured it to know about my bank account. I started using it. Pretty much just works. I use it from my iPhone. Some people shy away a little but if they want to buy by card, that is what I can offer..
