Square, Inc. is a merchant service and mobile payment company founded in 2009 by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Square uses the Square Reader, a credit card reader that plugs into your phone jack, to instantly accept payments anywhere.

Square Processing Charges

We've been using Square since 2010, nearly the time it was released. Naturally, when developing several websites for businesses, we have come across and experienced hands on, several merchant services and payment processors. There are many payment processors which I would trust. Square is one of them. When I need to process a transaction in person, it is much easier to swipe using the card reader, or even record cash payments using the invoice feature. Recently, Square implemented an appointment based services which seems to be extremely useful for our business.
