    Anyone Using Paypal Here™ for CC Transactions? If not, what?

    I'm at the point where I need to make the leap and start accepting credit cards. Until recently, cash has been the preferred method of payment and none of my customers have had a problem with it - or, if they have, no one has mentioned it. But, with the way my business has been growing, I certainly don't want to miss the opportunity to gain any new customers simply due to the fact that I only accept cash.

    As I've been researching the slew of companies/banks that accommodate credit/debit transactions via mobile device, one of the ones that stood out is Paypal's new" Paypal Here". It uses a CC swiper which plugs into the earphone jack of your mobile device but also allows you to key in the number or scan the card if the magnetic stripe can't be read.
    The terms are fairly attractive and you have access to your money immediately.

    So, I guess my questions are...
    Is anyone using this and/or
    What are you using to accept credit cards out in the field?

    I have a Paypal account also for online sales, but GoPayment by Intuit is better and cheaper if you're running an android device. If you're running iOS then try Square.

    I use GoPayment. If you are used to having cash only, be prepared that you will get a tax form showing how much you took in. So if you are not now, you will be paying taxes on what you swipe.
    GoPayment has been great to work with.

    Curious if square is better than paypals.. I've been looking into this as well and square takes 2.75% and paypal takes 2.7%/3.15% when manually entered I think... Plus funds for paypal appear to be immediately available.

    I have square for excepting CC payments in person. I also have a paypal account set up for online stuff. I have never had an issue with either one.

    I also was thinking of getting the square, just have a question for those that already use it. How do you pay your sales tax? Do you pay quarterly, or wait till the end of the year? Does you local state send you a tax bill? Any info would be great!

    Thanks!
