PayPal Credit Card Swipe?

[Former_Member]

Anybody useing this yet ? Basically the same fees as etsy and the direct checkout,
but they send you a credit card swiper as well, hopeing this will increase sales offline , craft fairs and regular commisions. no Merchant # required like with other readers , i guess because Paypal is the Merchant Portal?

No, But I was looking at the "Square", also just found Intuit® GoPayment Reader. need to Google, find info and reviews.

Any users of these feedback or reviews from this Team would be great.

Check closely before you go w/ Intuit. Their reader doesn't work will all cell phones, but they don't tell you that until you call them because it doesn't work. Maybe the same with Square?

I use Square, and I like it a lot. You need an iPhone, iPad, or Android device. I use it with an iPad I got specifically for this purpose. People at shows love it... all the other vendors were using their phones, and customers commented how much easier it was to sign on the iPad. I doubt anyone would lose a sale over that, though!

With square you can also do non-swiped transactions such as over the phone, but the fees are a little higher that way.

I also have Square and I really like it. The card reader takes some practice to be able to get the card to read. The app is very easy to use and professional. Its great for craft events. I recommend it.
