They are great! No monthly service charge, money deposited to my bank account on time.

I don't really have a need for it, but isn't that cool?

If I did have a need, I'd be looking into that for sure!!!

Why couldn't they have come out with those when I needed one?

FWIW, I can see those being very useful and popular for vendors at places like farmer's markets, flea markets, swap meets and the like.

I use square and have never had any problems. Ever businessperson should have an account with them. They fund within 3 days. Great product.

At the last Brimfield Flea Market , the couple in the next booth to My wife had one and they loved it , We plan on getting it to use with our portable gemstone mining sluices , at the last small fair , I had quite a few ask if we took credit cards .
I believe the little doohickey is free from them , but also available at the apple store for like $ 10.00 .
On a Hot Dog Vending Forum ( I bounce all around the Net ) a vendor got one and had just put the visa sign up and His first customer ( to see and use it ) asked You take CC ? instead of the two dog's and a coke order , they called there office and ended up with a $ 24. + order .

I got one, tested it out with my own credit card (Insane I know!) - it took a couple days longer to get my deposit than I was expecting but otherwise no issues.

I do not have an in-state bank, therefore no easy way to get cash deposited, so, when I start selling goats my customers can bring their debit cards (instead of racking up ATM fees) and I can swipe their cards right in front of them in my own front yard.

They are also right handy for the home-based businesses like Pampered Chef, Avon, etc

We signed up and are waiting on the free gizmo to arrive.

My wife runs a cake decorating business...and we are hoping to sell stuff from our new farm, as well as hobby odds and sods. Being able to take credit cards is a huge advantage for us....and the fees seem very reasonable.
