I'm 19, beginning my freelance car detailing business; and I've been thinking about getting square. This video has really been helpful! Thank you for giving the pros and cons

In some states it's actually illegal to charge a card fee, and is called "payment type discrimination." But one loophole you can utilize is to raise your rate, then offer a cash discount.

Smart and will be opening an acct just for square! Glad I bumped into your video prior to purchasing a card reader.

Thanks for the tip about opening a separate account for use with the square. Gonna do that! Makes perfect sense.

There were 3 tips i haven't Considered you mentioned..Thank you, Great tips! i have the square now but wouldn't use it till now..you answered the Questions i didn't KNOW to Ask...I knew i didn't want anyone in my act....without my permission!

Thanks for the advice & tips!!! Really appreciate it!! From another guy starting a small business.

Great informational video. You brought up some things that I never would have thought of. Thank you!

We got the Square Terminal recently. We chose Square because of the low rate, and no monthly rental charge. When on the road and you get someone flagging you down for snow removal the ability to take credit cards and debit cards is essential. People are more likely to pay a little higher rate for a one time service if they can just throw it onto their credit card. So far we have encountered NO problems with Square.

Great tips. You are right every utility company charges a fee for any payment unless it’s a recurring payment.

thank you for making this demonstration quick and straightforward

Good tip on the Square account. This is similar to how I explain on-line shopping to older folks who hesitate to put their details out there...I tell them to go and open a free, debit-card account and only drop money in when they need to make a purchase. These accts. (so far) have zero fees. Cheers from AU, Bill!

Thank you so much for an articulate and insightful video...brought up points I wasn't even considering!

I'm researching the square myself and the best tip I've hear yet is a separate bank account... I was going to register for it tonight but now I'm going to wait and go to the bank first !!!

Thank you. That was very helpful.. I purchased the square stand from my local apple store.. I am considering returning the product as the lack of customer support is a problem (I can just imagine dealing with any dispute, nobody to call and talk to, etc)... Thanks again..

This was such an amazingly easy video to follow and understand. Thanks for making it super simple!!!

Like him! He gets straight to the point! Thanks

When you key a card in, does Square verify that the card is good and also with a swipe?

Thank you for the info our freind. alot of it i knew but it was refreshing to here it from another small business owners perspective. Keep up the good work and good luck with all of your endeavors and god bless you and your family.

Thanks for the tips, I have square and love it. Its good to protect yourself. Great advice.

This review was very thorough and helpful, i'm sure my friend who uses square didn't know about the higher rate of keying in the card numbers, now I can pass on the advice.
