A: The company connects directly to your bank account using routing numbers (much like a direct draft for billing but backwards!) The money is deposited within 24-48 hours with the 3% deducted. Working well for our small business. You can see all transactions with square through your banking statements, so you can keep track of when things are posted and the amount.

Q: Will the magstripe reader still process a card using the magnetic stripe of a chipped credit card or will it require the customer to use a non-chip card?

A: Yes. If card has magnetic strip, Square can read it. They have a new Square reader, more expensive, that takes chip cards, but I just haven't had any problems with chipped cards using the cheap version.
