If you are a small business owner / freelancer of any kind I highly recommend avoiding the merchant services fee-ridden nightmare of accepting credit/debit cards and get a square reader and account.
Squares fees are no-nonsense, easily understandable and above all, reasonable.
Do yourself a favor if you are not able to accept credit/debit payments, buy one now.

When you are offering leases on a platform for Long Term stays and your tenant doesn't want to write a check or it's more than Venmo allows, you have to take a Card!! The only draw back is "the fee" for using a card. But that can be added to the total amount.
Upload, click App, slide card and there's money in your account. Couldn't be easier!!

I couldn’t find my PayPal reader during a convention so I stopped at Best Buy to get this as a temporary fix. It was the new update with the plug in option for the new iPhone and it worked like a charm all three days of the convention.

Since I had to purchase a new phone, of course I had to purchase a new square reader. I have several for my old phone but with the new phones having wireless headphones my old reader was worthless on the IPhone 7 and up. One thing I like with this reader is I don’t have to remove my otter box to operate the reader. Price was very reasonable.
