Anyone using "The Square" for Credit Card sales??

The business who installed my furnace used this, neat idea and worked well. Only thing I remember him saying monthly fee was high but I don't remember now.

I looked into one of those units for our business (dental office), but the high interest charge was too much.
It depends on how much you're going to be putting through. It can really add up.
I was able to find credit card charges at 1.5% through Global Payments, I think. (we've since sold the business)
Shop around if you can.

One of the local reef stores uses this as they are a home based business. Its also what they use at MACNA for the coral sellers there. Works like a hot damn but I understand they might charge slightly higher fees.

I thought 2.75% was a low rate...? Of the ones I've looked at there is no monthly fee. There aren't too many available in Canada yet, and of those ones many are only Apple compatible, not Android.

2.75% per swipe is actually pretty good. I have talked to some retailers that pay way more to use MC or Visa machines and there is a monthly fee on top of that as well. A lot of places will not accept Amex because there fee is HUGE!! Not to mention that any fee charged would be a right off for the service.

Read their contract carefully! Not only are you giving square access to your bank account to deposit funds, but also to withdrawl.

This thing is hilarious. Reminds me of something a drug dealer would use
