Square has it's place for small businesses and peer to peer transactions. As your business grows i would consider using an actual merchant account. They "break even" point is approx $2,200 a month in sales. At that level the lower % on your own merchant account would offset the monthly fees associated with your own merchant account.

Square aslo has had PCI Complaince issues - - http://merchantdoctor.hubpages.com/h...-PCI-Compliant

Again, it has it's place but should not be considered the answer for all mobile businesses. If you are looking for mobile processing and process $2200 a month or more please consider you own merchant account. I would be happy to help. We offer the fullline of mobile processing devices known as PaySaber www.paysaber.com

I have Square -
The main downside I see is that they don't keep a record or make it easy for you to keep a record of who has paid you - if you're selling coffees off of a cart for $5, that's not a big deal. If you've got transactions in the hundreds or thousands of dollars, it's pretty helpful to be able to go over the transactions from yesterday/last week/last month and make sure that everything that's shown in the Square app is also in your accounting system. But not keeping customer names makes that tough. So that's a little aggravating.

If you are doing this type of volume, i have a solution that not only allows firearms sales, but also stores much more data than it sounds like you are currently getting.

take a look at http://www.paysaber.com and if interested let me know...

Wow!

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

Yes, I meant "square".

BlakDawg. Interesting. Thanks, something to keep in mind, but I always have paper reciepts as well.

Peter, HAHAHAHAA!!!!! TOO FUNNY!!!! (Sorry Ron, but that was funny!)

Steve/Eureka,

Thanks for the info. My business is primarily check with occasional cash, and occasional people asking for credit card.

These could be anywhere from $80 to $10.5k per transaction, but it is not the primary payment method for my business, and since I just got a smart phone, I figure why not accomodate this feature though it would not be a primary form of payment most likely.

Dean,
My hand written reciepts already show if a customer paid cash or check (if check, what check number, so dealing with a few to a dozen CC payments per year shouldnt be hard to handle... just put amt/day/time of transaction on the reciept along with last 4 of CC number???)

I'm sure in the future more people would use credit/debit, but my business is not there yet. As I said, I only have about 4 people per year ask me if I take CC's right now.

Thanks all,
Postal

I only write name, and which type of card (V, MC, AE, D). Then in the square description I'll write the paper tag # as well as a short description. The square auto-saves the last 4 of CC and so far I haven't needed it for anything. I had one customer call me up after an event asking for a duplicate receipt. I asked for name, logged into square clicked "resend receipt" (or something equally easy) and it resent the email receipt. Uber easy!

****.
So they just revised their new TOS user agreement.
NOw they prohibit sales of any firearms, ammo, firearm parts, and any type of weapon designed to harm.
Screw them, Im sending them a nasty email and telling them they are no different than paypal, and I might as well stick with them.
