Square Cell Phone Credit Card Reader FREE Android iPhone Mobile App Business
Square is an app and credit card reader so you can accept credit cards with your mobile phone. squareup.com I have a HTC Thunderbolt and I got this reader for free when I signed up. I haven’t used it yet and don’t know when I will but it’s free. This would be great if you were selling in flea markets and wanted to accept credit cards. I like how it accepts American Express because not many retailers take that card. They take a small percentage of the transaction but that’s the cost of doing business. katiepatton.com
Yup I have it I use it and it works great.
I think you will use it at some point since you are a seller of merchandise.
Hi Katie
Are you going to be one of these people we see on TV that hoard everything? LOL
I want one but I don’t live on the USA
You should know, they run a credit check before they send you this for “free” (also they may sell your info aka like facebook!
Wow never seen this before. Thanks for sharing.
I have intuit but i have a few friends that have square. Works great
I have it for flea markets. If you type in the card info instead of using the swipe it will charge you 3.15%. If you swipe the card it will only charge you 2.75%. You can enter the the percentage in as a tax and it will charge the customers card. Just make sure you tell the customer your adding the extra percentage.
Now that works with just the android? or can it work for the Iphone? Im def checking that out. I did hear about apple coming up with this a while back.
Yeah it works for iPhone. I’ve heard people with iPhones get better customer service too.
There’s no credit check. There is an article about Square in the Jan 2012 issue of Entrepreneur.
I don’t think so, they asked me to confirm items from my credit report.
Yeah I heard on the news that Steve Jobs invented the idea. Probably why.
Do you need a business license to get one of these? or can anyone get one?
Thank you great vids
Glad I found your channel. Your cool peeps.
This thing makes it easier to jack people and rob their accounts. Lol
thats awesome i could use this at the salon, im gonna send you a message but i just sent you out a holla on my new vid, getting my picking channel off the ground be awesome if you could throw me a shout thanks
Thanks for your videos recommending searching Goodwill. I found a vintage Irish-made Carraig Donn 100% shetland wool sweater for $2 – one like it sold recently on ebay for $60! But… I think I like it too much to sell it. That’s always a risk, I guess.
cool
I signed up for a freaking bank account when I signed up for a free item through the mail????? wtf?
very misleading and the only way to delete the account you create when you signed up for this is to send them an email and there is no number to call.
Awesome, now I’m going to have to subscribe. =)
What about phone swipe?
The gas station in my neighborhood uses one of these on an ipad at their register instead of a regular card scanner. I thought it was weird at first because I did have to sign with my finger, but it was a business so I went ahead and did it with no problems.
Im having trouble with mine wouldnt scan the Card it didnt come with directions
What about giving the customer some sort of receipt? I would want one if I was the buyer.
