"I have been using Square since the first of the year and love it. It is very fast and I really like that at the end of the day I have everything in my computer when I get home. It takes about 2 minutes at most to do a charge."

"Hi Everyone,
I too love Square for transactions. They are timely and I've never had a problem with security issues. The one thing I don't like is that it doesn't capture your customers email so that you can use it…"

I'm new to this group but have a suggestion. You might want to look at Teamac Inc. They are focused on merchant services for artists. I joined when they had only the standard credit card processing machine…"

"I just got a Square and will be using it for my 1st show of 2012 at the end of March. I heard there were security issues when it first came out, but these have been fixed.

Squareup Anyone?
Hi everyone!I'm looking into using the Square since a friend told me how great it is, but I thought I should also ask around how others like it, especially jewelers, how fast/slow the whole transaction takes? Say, you are at a busy show and people are waiting to pay, how fast can you run a charge you are working with, before you can take the other charges? Is two-3 minute sounds right?Any information is greatly appreciated, Thanks! :)~KSee More

- What are the best things about art fairs
- Doing what I love, be my own boss, meet new people and most of the time it is like I'm on a vacation.
- Best show ever and why
- Atlanta, I didn't make a whole lot of money but I felt like a million bucks, people liked my wares enough to buy and it was an affirmation in a way, that I am heading to the right direction.
- Worst show ever and why
- Ocala, I was still a photographer back then,we had two separate booth but both of us combined, we sold 1 print! My husband is quite successful in his field, but in his 12 years doing art fair, he never,ever had a ZERO show and this was his first and only zero show so far. The crowd came for food and beer! and very little people that came to the show, very conservative.
