Phenominal Product - Amazed
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5I'm stunned at how well this product works. First, they refund the $10 investment 24 hours after you purchase this product. It links directly to a bank account and allows you to charge credit cards with a reasonable fee (don't forget you are not paying anything for the account and there are no monthly fees). The device itself is small enough to fit in a pocket and pull out when you need to run a card. There is a bit of a trick to get it to swipe - you swipe and pull up at the last bit - almost 30 degrees - works everytime. We are using this at a charity event - first time we are able to accept credit cards instead of checks/cash - people love it. The receipt is either Emailed or TXT to the purcahser - they not only get a full receipt but a copy of their signature and a GPS location / Map. More than anyone would need - plus, if there is fraud, you'd know where the person was. Can't say enough about this product, great job!

What experts are saying
Q: Questionhow does it work..if I purchase the device from a store, how does the product transactions go to my bank?
Asked by Cako.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionWill 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?
Asked by Steve.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionIs this worth it for small purchases? When I'm talking small, I'm talking about $0.50 here and there but nothing more then $5.00 at a time.
Asked by Bellz.
- A:Answer I think it would have to be dependant upon how much you earn per day. Here's my reason: you mentioned sales of .50 cents or less. The Square Device charges a fee of 2.75% for each purchase. That would be a fee of .01 cents for a .50 cents item. You would have to figure out what your profit is on the .50 cent item and decide if you could afford to lose .01 cents on that item. I hope this helps.

Q: QuestionDoes this device work on Android phones, if so which phones are not compactable
Asked by Cincinnati.
- A:Answer It works great with my Samsung S8 so see no reason why it wouldn't work on other phones. I think you mean compatible, not compacticle, but regardless, I don't know of any that aren't.
