What's up AGO? I just recently found a new way of accepting credit cards for my detailing services. A buddy of mine actually gave me a square card reader last week and I immediately started using it. So far, I've processed 13 credit charges with out any flaws at all... There's no monthly contract and they only charge 2.75% of every charge. This dang sure beats the prices I was paying with chase credit card account.

Anyhow, if any of you all are looking for a way to start accepting credit cards, I strongly suggest y'all check out the SQUARE. just down load the app, request a reader, and start accepting credit cards.... That dang simple....:xyxthumbs:

+1. I use it every day. 2.75% sure beats a bounced check!

+1 so many people have stopped carrying cash in favor of credit/debit cards. I've gotten a ton of clients simply because I have a square card reader and people haven't had cash.

You know what else.... I've actually found that with using the credit cards, I've actually saved a few more bucks this week. Idk about y'all but whenever I have that cash in my pockets, I ALWAYS FIND A WAY to spend "just" a little more than I'm supposed to...

Is this the "swipe reader" that plugs into the top of an I-phone?

I use the free card reader on my droid bionic and iphone. It's also good for buddies that owe you money but never have cash on them.

What type of connector does the card reader use? I have an LG Android phone and other than the mini USB and head phone jack I don't see any other connection ports. Will this work with any smart phone?

Dave, it works with the headphone jack. Go to squareup.com and order your reader and create an account.

I also use this! I honestly don't get a lot of credit card transactions but when I need it it's there. And not having a monthly fee is great. Especially since I rarely use it.

So true... nothing worse than paying a monthly fee for something you don't use. Just like my gymn membership!
