Square is an app that you download to your smart phone or tablet. Once you sign up, they send to a 1 inch swipe that plugs into your phone. The service charges 2.75%, which is worth it to me...one in the hand is worth....well......more than 2.75% to me. It's very handy, and easy to use, especially with those customers that call you in the middle of the night with a critter running crazy in their home....You give them a price...have them pay you at least a down payment before you leave your nice comfortable home and loving wife at 8 pm on Friday night...only to have them call you 3 minutes before you get to their home to tell you that their neighbor came over and let the animal out the door. Well...at least you got paid for your time. Before, I would have to just suck it up and go back home to a peed off wife wondering why I interrupted the "Batchler" to go and not get paid. Or how about this....called to get a snake...lady is freaking out...try to get paid and hear " My husband has the check book, just bill us".. well I was worth every bit of a $150.00 before I showed up to get the snake...now they don't want to pay because "all you did was walk in a pick it up..that's a heck of a rate for 5 minutes of work" . Now, I say...we accept debit and credit...and I get paid.

See he was negotiating....$50 mad him feel sucessful. And, got a happy customer.

What is the swipe for,if you don't leave home does he give you his cc # and some how it goes through you to the bank so they get the 2.75% and then put the rest in your account and how long before you know it's in there? Just wondering.

smallcreek, check the other thread posted by Kasey on this subject, details on how it works and how fast are there for you.

Thanks HD ,but NCbatman said you get a down payment before you leave home and #5 in that list says you swipe there card so how is he doing it or what is it that I'm missing.

Ah, sorry man, some folks do that way, I generally don't. You can get their card number over the phone and enter it manually for a deposit
before you leave the house, but the rate you see on that other thread of 3. something plus .15 per xaction applies.

Hope that helps, skip over #5 and look down at the question about cell phone reception. Some folks due to service area have to go this
manual route, because the "swiper" won't work without cell reception.
