alpha2 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Posted August 12, 2019 Jeff, FYI Square cancelled my account because I had a firearms "related" company. Apparently holsters and training are sins. The other Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.

Apparently holsters and training are sins. The other Jeff What the..~@!@#! Actual, useful info relevant to the question asked?@ On THIS site?!@#! Say it aint so ... Did you have their SITE, or just the processing? I'm not interested in their "squareup" site - was just looking for an alternative payment method - fast and easy - to ADD to my stuff for those few who don't like paypal. I've had some who commented they didn't really care for that, but used it anyway. And I"ve had some who insisted on paying another way. I've used PayPal for years, never had a problem. BUT... it's worth having another option. Not debating yae or nae on one, just adding another for those who don't want to use it. But I forgot about all the "fun" of entering a "catalog" of items.

Members Jack Napalm Posted August 12, 2019 Members Report Posted August 12, 2019 I am looking at options as well right now. At the moment I am considering Shopify. Take a look at that, it may fit your needs. They have POS hardware and card readers for mobile devices. Quote
Members Big Sioux Saddlery Posted August 12, 2019 Members Report Posted August 12, 2019 I use Square as a credit card processor for those who don't want to use PayPal. I've had no problems, but I discourage the use of cards. Much of my business is face to face, with people that are somewhat local, and they still write checks. A fair percentage hands me a wad of cash when paying. But I digress, Square has been painless for me to date. They may not have the cheapest rate, but there is no monthly fee, unlike back when I had processing services through my bank. Quote

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 12, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 12, 2019 SO, WHO has a 'square' web site? Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members bullmoosepaddles Posted August 13, 2019 Members Report Posted August 13, 2019 I use Square for card processing. I also use Paypal. Never had a problem with either. I do face to face sells quite often. I take about 90% of my money in card payments of some sort. I do not have a Square shop. But that is just me. I have friends who do, never heard them complain. Hope it helps. But at least it was to the point. Go well Quote

Some of my suppliers are Amish and don't take credit cards. Quote
