    My glover device was working just fine until one day Mechant services decided my device is too old. They deliberately shut off my device admittedly. So I decided to give square a try. This $50 device does everything my hand held glover did better and faster.

    This was so easy to set up and have and payments go directly to a bank account. I appreciate that you can text the receipt to your customers rather than email, you avoid making mistakes. This worked perfectly for walk-ins on the day of my event.

    Square is faster than paypal when taking payments but a little bit more in cost. Not much but in long run pennies add up. Over all ita good but the app/interface made it a little more difficult for me. Other than that its good.

    It works exactly as described. Its somewhat aggravating when using the Square app on my iPhone in regards to having to restart the app on my phone in order for the reader and app to communicate. Once it is properly synced, its a great product.
