What is The Card Association?

We provide a diverse array of choices to ensure that your payment processing is seamless and efficient. Our offerings include not only conventional card reader transactions but also mobile payment solutions, ecommerce capabilities, and fully integrated point-of-sale applications for a comprehensive approach to your payment needs.

What is Square Card Reader?

Square provides a free credit card reader that integrates effortlessly with its no-cost Point of Sale app, allowing users to process payments through their mobile devices with ease. When you register for Square, a card reader is sent to you at no charge, and there are no hidden fees or complicated contracts to worry about. The service charges a transaction fee of 2.6% plus 10¢ for each card swipe, which applies to major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. Funds can be available in your account as soon as the next business day, ensuring quick access to your earnings. Square offers two varieties of magstripe readers: one compatible with the headphone jack and the other with the Lightning connector, giving you the flexibility to choose based on your device's requirements. Payments can be accepted right at the register, on the go, through invoices, or by manually entering card information. The Square Point of Sale app is not only free but also designed with user-friendliness in mind, equipping you with all the essential features to run your business effectively. To bolster security, any credit card information is encrypted during the swipe process, and Square guarantees that no card data is stored on your device after the transaction. This all-encompassing solution enables small businesses to handle their sales and customer relationships with greater efficiency, ultimately fostering growth and improving customer satisfaction. With its straightforward setup and reliable service, Square is well-positioned to support entrepreneurs in managing their financial transactions smoothly.
