Been using them about six months now. Experimenting with my own credit card, it took me four swipes to get the correct speed, but since then I'm shooting 100%. They email you immediately when the record a payment, and the transaction with my bank is begun either the same or next day. Shows up in my bank account after that the same as with any ACH transaction. No monthly fees. There may be some confusing information out there, because when it initially started up, they were saying a $50 limit on each transaction or something thereabouts. But that has been since resolved, no limit except for the per week thing that has been discussed here. And my customers love it. One was even going to run out to the store to get cash because they didn't use checks, and didn't have cash on hand, and when I showed her the little swiper her face lit up. "Oh, no way, you can DO that?" :-) Jim On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 10:04 AM, Al Guecia/Allied PianoCraft < alliedpianocraft at hotmail.com> wrote: > Jim, > > The Square system appears to be a good alternative to PayPal. > > How long have you been using their service? > Are you comfortable that you will receive payments promptly? > Their website indicates that there is no monthly fee to use the service.
