SquareUp Mobile Payments
We live in a world where paying cash is quickly becoming obsolete. As cash becomes a thing of the past, it is more and more important for small businesses, individuals, and mobile stores to have a way for their consumers to pay for goods. One of the best options is the Square credit card reader and app. No business wants to have to turn a way a customer or miss a sale because they’re unable to accept a specific form of payment. The Square credit card reader is the perfect solution to the payment problem. All you need is an iPhone, iPad, or Android, access to WiFi or cellular data, and the Square credit card reader to never miss out on a transaction again.
To get started go to squareup.com or download the free Square Register app for your smart phone or tablet and sign up for an account to receive a free Square card reader. The card reader plugs into the headphone jack of your device. It’s secure and allows you to receive payments anywhere. When you need to make a transaction, just enter the amount and swipe the card or enter the card number manually. Square except all major credit cards including Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover.
Square has two different options to pay for access. The first is a charge of 2.75% of the amount when you swipe a card and 3.5% when you enter a card number manually (because this is less secure). The second option is to pay $250 a month for an unlimited number of transactions. When you make a transaction, you enter the amount and scan the customer’s card. The customer then signs the receipt on the phone or tablet and enters their phone number or email to receive a copy of the receipt. Square has no long term commitment or fees other than the transaction charges. Funds are quickly received, usually within 1-2 business days, and deposited directly into your bank account.
Square is a great solution for small businesses and individuals that are looking for a way to accept credit cards. In fact, we like it so much that at Cranston IT we use it to take credit cards at all of our appointments. For more information about Square, visit squareup.com.
