How many of you accept credit cards?

I had to go into verizon store the other day and pu a power cord and walked out with the Square...it will be interesting to see how much I will end up using it! since most of my work is signing with title/escrow/lenders. I can use it with live scan payment too. Many people don't carry checks around with them any more...

Re: I have Square for GNW

I don't have a big call for it, but have used it a few times. Nice to have and offer ability to take credit cards.

I have Square and used it a few times. It's nice

because funds are transferred into my bank account in 1-2 business days, less the fee. It is used for GNW and those that have paid by credit card thought it was cool to have it on the iPhone.

I do... I accept them via Square and Paypal Here... I use both because sometimes I can get one service to work in a low signal area when another won't.

It's really handy for GNW.

I do. Like Marian, I use both Square and PayPal. This allows the client to opt for their preference.

And, yeah, when I whip out that little gizmo and attach it to my 'Droid, swipe the card and have the client sign on my phone, they're impressed. And, to conclude the transaction, you can immediately send them their receipt from your phone to either their email or as a text to their phone.

I have had Square for approx 1 year.

I did $300+ in January and it increases every month.

I do not like paypal at all; I use it but it's my last choice.

Just my thoughts, but if I were in a area with more wealth, I would be making much more on credit cards charges than $300. This is for GNW.

People don't carry checks (men in particular) and cash always works!
LOL

Zagg: a great smartphone accessory, esp if you take cc's...

... and even if you don't. I highly recommend the Zagg invisible shield "skin" to protect the surface of your smartphone or iPad. It's guaranteed for the life of the device, easily cleaned, resistant to fingerprints, reduces glare, and it makes for a great surface when someone signs for their credit card charge. Using my finger to write on the screen before I got that was iffy. With this skin, it's easy and my one cc client so far was very impressed. (He has an iPhone, mine is a Galaxy SIII.) I think these are available for most smart phones. I got mine free with Staples Reward points (@ about $16, although I've seen them for more).

I don't own stock in this company, I just was very impressed with the difference. The protective shields that came with my phone didn't last very long and became a real nuisance. The only downside is that it's a little complicated to apply it, but well worth the effort, imo.

I do, using PayPal Here. I can also process checks and put in cash payments--helps with the bookkeeping.
