What's great about it: Easy, cheap, works well
What's not so great: nothing
I'm stunned at how well this product works. First, they refund the $10 investment 24 hours after you purchase this product. It links directly to a bank account and allows you to charge credit cards with a reasonable fee (don't forget you are not paying anything for the account and there are no monthly fees).
The device itself is small enough to fit in a pocket and pull out when you need to run a card.
There is a bit of a trick to get it to swipe - you swipe and pull up at the last bit - almost 30 degrees - works everytime.
We are using this at a charity event - first time we are able to accept credit cards instead of checks/cash - people love it.
The receipt is either Emailed or TXT to the purcahser - they not only get a full receipt but a copy of their signature and a GPS location / Map. More than anyone would need - plus, if there is fraud, you'd know where the person was.
Can't say enough about this product, great job!

What's great about it: Easy to get started
What's not so great: Hardware quality, rates
The Square readers are everywhere these days but every time I've used one or seen it used the merchant had to swipe a half dozen times to get the card reader to recognize the card. At a relatively high 2.75% rate already, if you have to hand key the card then you end up paying 3.5%. That's a ridiculously high amount if you're actually using this for business.
Getting a real merchant account will save you the most money in the long run and most mobile phone merchant account providers also give away free hardware that is of much higher quality.
That being said, if you need to get a few bucks from friends or if you're having a garage sale then this is a handy tool.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This card reader is super easy to use. Just download the app off of android or App Store and fill out the requirements for Square Inc. Then plug and get swipping! Square Inc will refund the money you pay for the Square and then even send you a second free card reader for free!

Great Stocking Stuffer
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: You use it with your smart phone when your out of the office to receive an immediate payment.
This was a "stocking stuffer" gift for our Daughter for Christmas. She loves it and uses it regularly to receive customer payments by credit card when she's out of the office.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Small, Great software, Free!
What's not so great: Plastic feels weak (Though i have had no structural problems), You sometimes have to swipe the card multiple times.
Not only is it amazing that the card reader is free after using a redemption code from square, but it is also incredibly convenient. It is a perfect size, I can easily take it off and put it in my pocket when not in use. Also, the app is incredibly easy and fun to use. People are always amazed when I process a transaction from my phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!
