Fantastic
I have been using this since it came out a while back. They made updates to the apps so it is working a lot better than it did when they started. Also the rates are great - especially considering you are not paying monthly fees or gateway charges or the other garbage that other companies charge.:tribiggrin:

Out of curiosity, do you have that many instances where you're manually swiping a credit card? In nearly ten years of accepting credit cards, I've only swiped an actual card twice.
Decent amount of credit cards
I have to say, that while I do take more credit cards over the phone, I still use square. With a 2.75 rate for swipes and a 3.25 rate for manually entering, it is still a pretty solid processing. The funds are deposited into my bank account the next day, which is also very nice.
With no fees anytime other than per transaction, it is still a great alternative to paying gateway fees, monthly minimums and contracts that I had with previous card processors.

Your phone doesn't actually hold the credit card data. It's encryped and sent to the company where they process it. If someone stole your phone you just call and cancel the card reader.
If you want a better rate and service than square check out the ADJA program with intuit. 1.7% base rate. Free swiper and no min or termination fees.
Aside from having to be an ADJA member.... do you have to pass a credit check in order to setup an account?
Somewhat. We signed up over 200 to the program in LV. I think only 3 got rejected. Not sure why. Our program is pretty wide open.
I would guess that those that were rejected are like me... have bad personal and/or limited business credit ratings....
With the Squareup device there is no credit check and all you need is a bank account that funds can be transfered to...
This is also why many choose to use PayPal as well... sure the rates are high but, you don't have to have good credit to use them....
Joker,
No actually it wasn't as much about their credit as it was some other elements. Did you sign up for our program and get rejected? You don't need to answer publicly. Pm me your response. If your interested in our program I would be willing to help.

Hey Drax...
We were one of many that applied and got it...Problem is I have a Blackberry Curve 8530. I was told it would work with this. It doesn't. I was told it was my phone, then told it was the device. Intuit is sending me another this week.
I tried my wife's credit cards, nothing...
Thoughts?

I deal with Merchant Warehouse and they have an app that works with most smartphone devices. Very handy for on the go transactions!
I actually have both an account with Merchant Warehouse..and Square. Both are great................however...Square holds anything over a $1000.00 per week for 30 days.
Tim,
The swipers that use the audio port can have issues. Mostly it has to do with the quality of the phone audio. Some times it is because they forget & have their audio muted or turned down really low. If you do that it won't work. The audio needs to be turned up to normal volume level or a little more.

Update!
It works now! It was an audio problem and the swiper neded to be enabled. Thanks!
