_ Life Without Square: The Hassle of accepting Credit Cards
Dealing with the hassle of taking credit cards was something small business owners used to dread.  A merchant account had to be set up with a bank or financial institution.  The merchant was charged a monthly service fee.  The fee was sometimes as high as $50 a month.  In addition to the fee, business owners had to rent or purchase credit card processing equipment.  This also included purchasing consumables such as paper and ribbons for the receipt printers.  This often proved expensive for the small business owner.  Thanks to a San Francisco based company called Square, the hassle of taking credit cards is now over.

How Square Works: Everyone Can Accept Credit Cards Via Mobile Devices
Square was created by Jack Dorsey, one of the founders of Twitter. Square's mission is to remove the barriers for small business owners to accept credit cards.  Square is simple.  It is elegant and easy to use.  The most important feature of using Square is that your clients feel secure with the transaction.  Square allows you to accept credit card payments on your Android, iPhone or iPad with the free square card reader device.  Square will send you a free Square card reader to plug into the audio port of your mobile device.  You can sign up and install the app in just a few minutes.  You can then begin accepting credit cards!  Your customers can review their purchase on your mobile device and even have a tip added to the bill.  After their credit card is swiped, they sign a signature line on the screen with their finger.  Customers instantly receive an electronic receipt via text or e-mail, which makes them feel secure about the transaction. Square charges one simple rate: 2.75% per swipe for MasterCard, Visa Discover and Amex.  Unlike most credit card processors, square charges no monthly fees.  The funds are deposited into your bank account the next business day.

Square Lets Small Business Owners Accept Credit Cards Via Mobile Devices
Even if you run the one person micro business, you have a need to accept credit cards from your customers. PayPal made it easy to accept payments online. Square now makes it easy to accept payments in person with a mobile device. Expect to see Square being used by your hair stylist, gardener, babysitter, or anyone you currently pay in cash. All you need is a mobile device and a bank account to accept payments. Square is making the process easy and fun as well. Small Business owners: get one of these now and get set up to take credit card payments. Your future sales may depend on it.
