Square does the job large companies can do for les
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.From a small biz end, Square is where it is at. Small percentage fee for withdraw to your bank account.. Use their bank and easy no fee hassle. Get the app, there is not a Windows App, nor an Apple. Could use an emulator, but the plug won't work, as it has no idea what is being used. The slider just makes it all click. These new phones don't have a jack anymore, and if you want to use this particular doodad, then you'll need the adaptor, which Best Buy has made by Google. Works great. Plug it up, run the app, the app looks for the reader, finds it and you are ready to go.. If you set it up with Square first. Everyone should have one. The users for financials is unbound.

Phenominal Product - Amazed
Posted .I'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: QuestionHow would this work for an iPhone 7 plus?
Asked by Jane.
- A:Answer I have the iPhone 7+ and it works just fine if you use the adapter which came with your phone for 3.5mm headphones.

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: 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.

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.
