I was gifted an older ipad recently and plan to use it with the Square card reader (or similar from PayPal if I end up going that way). Currently I use an old iphone 3 with the reader (the phone is dedicated for this use, no longer in service as a phone, just lives on the front desk)
I think the ipad will be easier for guests to use. Currently about half are familiar with Square or similar, and about half of those already have their emails in the system to send their receipts. But it seems the larger ipad version would be easier to sign.
For those of you who use the ipad system, any feedback from guests? It would take up more space on my desk, currently the little iphone, reader and signing stylus sit in a mug on top of the desk. I guess I would slide the ipad in among file folders or on the bookshelf. the battery does last a l o n g time.
And did anyone go with the fancy ipad register system Square was touting some time ago? I've no plans to do that. My guest payment records are still paper based. (and no, no cc#s are kept).
