Didn't take long.... PP Here charges 2.70% while Sq charges 2.75% per swipe.
Main difference is that PP Here places your money in your PP acct within minutes after the transaction (swiped) and you get a debit card to use.... it is like 1 stop shop, but the money can easily be transferred (by you) to your bank any time.
Key in and scanned charges are subject to 3.5% +.15 which I believe is the same as Sq.
Accept checks @ no charge... just scan in.
The list of android phones is short.... it won't work with mine.
Mine is not on the list either, but the software works, and I've gone ahead and ordered the reader. The Square works on my phone even though it is not on their list either. I think the list is just those phones that they have tested and can certify that it actually works on. As I have, I would go ahead and try it even if your phone is not on the list (assuming it otherwise meets the minimum requirements) -- there is nothing to lose but your time, as the software and hardware are free....copperhead said:The list of android phones is short.... it won't work with mine
And I guess as long as everything about signup is free and you're not locked into a contract for monthly fees, there's no great problem with signing up with them all and using which ever one is currently cheaper or has the best features.Joey Bloggs said:
iTunes says the PayPal Here app is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.Highlands John said:
That's exactly my problem, no C&P for most of these systems. We have had a few international transactions that would only process with C&P. Or they have to go to phone verification and that's an extra charge.Highlands John said:
Do you also have any fixed monthly fees?
I did not get one set % fee for MC - I had this type MC and that type MC and qual and non-qual each with its own % and same for VS plus I was assessed a minimum amount of their fees per month, a VS Network fee, plus connection fees for each transaction and connection. I did not take Disc or AMEX because of their fees. Every month I had to wait for my bank statement to discover how much they took. With Square there is no question - they tell me at the time of the charge how much they took and how much I am geting deposited into my checking account - they put in with no take out. From what I paid before 2.75% is just ducky. What was high was having $22.90 removed from my account in a month that had NO (0- ZERO) transactions. and in the winter, that is not unusual for my location (especially if they used cash or checks @ 0% fee).IrisoftheWayfarer said:
But what about the other charges you pay, on top of the 1.9%? Don't you also pay PCI fees (ours is $100/year), Global VPN, member fees, account maintenance fees, surcharges for taking rewards cards, etc.? We do. Our "other fees" each month come to about $45!IrisoftheWayfarer said:
There are at least two companies offering it in the UK, I think. One of them is http://www.adyen.com/products/face-to-face-payments/chip-and-pin/
See that scares me, with all the PCI Compliance stuff I had to fill out they were adamant about all of that, but you must mean ADD A LINK to process it on the website? Right? Not really ON your website?ThuderingWind said:
You've been able to add a PP link to your website for many years, we use it. Plus PP has a payment notification system that can call your website back when the payment is complete. Our homegrown booking system uses it.Joey Bloggs said:
I am sure that I have overlooked something. So, when I have a minute, I will check it out and report back to you. As usual, I didn't look at the entire picture. Yup, that's me. I know that we get a "preferred" rate because our average charge is a little over $ 500. per transaction.Harborfields said:
