If you are a small business owner and you don?t have a storefront or even a website, no worries, no longer.
Now you can take someone?s credit card for payment right from your very own smart phone. It’s even a free app. Now it?s hip to be ?Square?.
Even ordinary people can accept credit cards. Having a yard sale? You too can accept credit cards. Selling your leather sofa and you don?t want to take a check and the buyer has no cash? Just swipe their card on your smartphone, either iPhone/iPod/iPad or Google Android, have them sign the screen with their fingertip and you?ve been paid.
The buyer will also receive a digital receipt via e-mail or SMS.
Ain?t technology great? For a complete rundown on exactly how Square works, check out SmartPlanet.
