Most sates legally allow you to charge a credit card surcharge. So on your dashboard go to the tax section and type what percentage you would like to make the surcharge, likely 2.75% as that is what Square charges you, and voila – the charge is added and you are, well, square. note: there is space to add multiple surcharges such as credit and state sales tax, there is even an option for a tip. Check out the website, all the information is there!

I think the more options we have out there, the better. Good luck with it all! :)

@WifeyofaRoadie – Haha, there you go! Hard to ignore right there in person ;)
@Kerry – If you do that you HAVE TO take a picture and let me know!! Hahaha… that would be all kinds of awesome ;) And then I’d post it on this blog and make you famous!! woooo!!!! haha…
@Sunslant – Very cool, I like that idea. Writing it down would make me crazy nervous.
@Kelly – Nooooo idea… but then again, I don’t even know what “PCI compliance adherence” is ;)
@Keesha – You’re welcome, but you’re not welcome ;)
@Brandon – Oh yeah, def. good for art. And people you trust ;)
@Stephanie – yup! :)
@kh – Haha, you actually make a valid point there. Too bad no one’s taking you up on the answer! :)

But you’ll hand your credit card or debit card to someone at a restaurant, right? And let them walk away with it to charge you? So what’s to keep them from writing down your card number and all the info on it and using the card? If you’re that paranoid, then why use your card at all?

And if you don’t trust the person you’re paying, then why are you doing business with them?

I’m really baffled by these statements.

For the record, NO data is stored on my phone or in my account. Everything is encrypted and the only thing that shows up on the receipt is the last 4 digits of the card.

If I were a local merchant, I could see using it, as long as other people trusted me with it.

Since I don’t have an iPhone and don’t have any real need to collect money from people, it’s not for me, but I do think it could be pretty useful for small businesses!

There are already lots of people out there with credit card skimmers or readers for those touch-less cards, this just seems to make things easier for them.

That said, for those that do trust it it sounds like a great opportunity. I have a friend who sells art at local markets that would definitely benefit from something like this, and the 3% transaction fee for something like that would be a pretty negligible part of doing business.
