Free Credit Card Reader To Accept Payments With Android, iPhone, iPod, iPad

Credit Card merchant on the go

[]1Did your sales flop because consumers don’t carry cash anymore? Now there’s a solution for any business from personal to commercial. Square, from Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, is a mobile payment solution on the go.

What is Square?

Square, is a small plastic card reader that you can attach to your headphone port on your phone or tablet. Once a credit card is swiped, the reader converts the data from the magnetic strip into and audio signal that passes to the software on your Android or iOS device.

 

What does Square cost?

The best part is that the credit card reader, the app, and the account are both free. Most merchants charge monthly fees, service fees, and fees based on cards used or the amount charged. Square charges a fixed rate of 2.75% for each transaction if the card is swiped. If the card number is manually entered, the rate is 3.5% plus .15 cents per transaction. This is much better than many other merchants and even convenient.
