Incredible tool for Small Business Owners

I have discovered a great new tool for small business owners. I plan on obtaining this tool to use when I am doing vendor fairs and craft shows.

So, what IS she talking about, you ask?

A small, compact, and very useful tool, called Square.

The best thing about this very useful and compact tool is that it's free. And the fees are only 2.75% per swipe of a credit card. There is no other cost to using the Square to accept credit card payments!!! NONE! And easy deposits straight to your bank account- no need to open up a paypal account to accept credit cards!!!

Transparent Pricing

• 2.75% per swipe for Visa, MasterCard, Discover and AmEx.
• Free app, free Square Card Reader and free shipping.
• No merchant account, monthly fees or set-up costs.
• Manually-entered cards cost 3.5% + 15¢ per transaction.

What I love about Square is that it works on nearly any smart phone that has a touch screen, and you can even use your Ipad as a cash register! Man, I think I may get an Ipad just for that, LOL!


But seriously, not only is the card reader a free tool to obtain and the app is free to download for your apple Iphone, Ipad, or Android smart phone, but anyone who downloads the app can create an account and not have to worry about having their credit card on them at all times! Just walk into, or up to, a merchant that is listed on your Pay with Square app, open a tab from your smart phone, and tell them to put it on your tab. The merchant will then look up your photo, and ID you by the photo, then ring you up and hit charge, and within less than a minute you get a notification on your phone that you have paid. Note: all you need to do is input your credit card information into your Square account


Not to mention  if you have any problems with your account, you will be assured that customer service is amazing and very helpful. I blogged about a recent problem I had with my Square app on one of my other blogs:  http://dailyramblingmom.blogspot.com/2012/03/square.html

So if you are a small business owner, do yourself a favor and get Square! Great tool to use for craft fairs, vendor fairs, a home party business... you name it! ;o)
