jporter12 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Now I'm interested in this "Square" thing' date=' will have to investigate. Especially since I can't use PP anymore [/quote']https://squareup.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSR_Racer_99 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) I offer Paypal for people who want to pay by CC, and tell them that there's an additional 3% due to fees. I don't do enough CC business to justify any of the CC payment methods (and fees) that I looked in to.Edit: Okay, looked at the Square thing, and gotta say its very cool. I don't think I would have any concerns with using it. Its not MY credit card info thats going out over the air.

idodishez Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I use square and it's great, money goes right to your bank account. The only problem is it cost like 2% or something for each transactionEvery credit card company is going to charge about that much. Even PayPal.

(penalize credit card users) So to get around it, you offer a "discount" to non credit card payers and raise your normal prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhondas Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have PayAnywhere. Only use it when I have to ie. out on the road and no terminal with me or not an paypal customer. Very High transaction % but otherwise no fees.... so in the long run, it is not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I went ahead and downloaded it and ordered my reader. Not sure how often I'll use it, but it'll be nice to have a backup to cash and paypal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a business, I believe you are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
