Hi gang! I am so excited - my card reader arrived today. It's no bigger than a quarter! I've already tested it with many different cards and there is a learning curve with the swipe, but once you get it, you got it! Here are the faq's on this service for those of you asking. I personally believe it's a Godsend, but for those of you who do large volumes of CC business, you may stick with what you have. I am a one-man operation and I don't want to pay monthly fees. Square can accept Visa, MC, Amex, Disc, prepaid and gift cards as long as they are issued in the US. Check out the link below for more info~!
