Square for sales

[sknowles]

<p>I'm curious if folks use the Square swipe tool and app for smart phones, and if so, do you have the personal or business account and what is your experience. I only sell boxes of cards or prints occasionally and this seems the easiest way for customers to buy when I deliver. </p>

<p>I have been using it for the last two or three years for all my sales, both at the studio and at shows. I have had exactly zero problems of any kind with it. I recommend it highly! Just remember that it is not free, and it costs a little more if you don't swipe the card (somebody gives you a card number over the phone, say).</p>

<p>Nothing but positives here. What I Like -- among other things -- is the fact that Square keeps improving the app. I think it's very well done.</p>

Also very happy with the service. Just remember to build that transactional overhead into your pricing.

<p>+1--also very happy with it, been using it for a year. Much cheaper than a regular credit card processor with minimum monthly fees unless you have a high volume of sales.</p>

<p>One small problem Ive found is if you are in a hilly area with poor Cell reception it can be a real drag. Otherwise - it's great! </p>
