Cliff Kornegay Topic Author Offline Senior Member Posts: 48 Thank you received: 0	Does anyone use square for accepting credit cards? squareup.com/ I get my card reader this week, but wasn't sure if any other inspectors are using the technology. I'll post a brief eval after I have used it for the first couple of times. Looks awesome, hope it is... Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I've seen a few guys mention that they're using it and they look really cool. They're rates are too high, especially since you're swiping the card. I'd expect it to be about one percent lower. As it is, it's about .7% higher than the agreement we have with our users, though that will be better as it says there's no monthly charge versus the $5 on ours + $10 PCI Compliance. They don't list a PCI compliance system but that's not legal, so I'm guessing that's worked into the higher rates. Have they asked you to fill out any questionnaires on your business practices?
