With all the new card readers out there for smartphones, I'm thinking about getting one so I can accept credit cards as payment. Is anyone else doing this? Pros and cons please and any other thoughts ya'll may have on the subject.
I use PayPal and email them a bill because i rarely see the owners just the trainer. And this way they enter the card info and i am not response able for there info Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
yes, just a android just for that reason; plus you can e-mail, text, ect. I am having such fun with my new droid. I will be using Square-up here soon.
A friend of mine said Square had terrible customer service. I think I am going to go with Phone Swipe.
My friend said Square was almost impossible to get ahold of and if there was a problem he said you could forget about a quick resolution. He suggested Phone Swipe. I called them and had to leave a message with the new accounts department but they called back in less than 15 minutes. It took less time to set up than it takes to write this. For occasional users the fees are 2.69% if you manually swipe a card and 3.5% if you just key in the number.
Yall should really check out paypal i found them to be the cheepist overall. And they do not send you a 1099 at the end of the year unless you sell $25k worth most of the others 1099 everything Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Because you have to wait for them to mail them to you i usualy have my taxes done by jan 15 Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
I've used square for 2 years never got a 1099. Never had any trouble or needed to contact them but I don't use it much.
Zach, You don't have to wait for 1099's. You don't have to send copies with your taxes, just report what's on them. Regards
Using CC for payment since 2002. It is called cash flow. 75% of my business is CCs. sure beats waitnig on the postman of years ago. yes accpeting CCs costs a fee but that is tax deductable. shop around, costco had the best at one time but check in with your local banks......
Currently only businesses have to send 1099's, and don't have to send one if the amount is under $10, if my recollection is correct. Regards
