IPad credit card App - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Scrolling Days · 07-11-2012, 02:44 AM

So i brought the fam for ice cream tonight, and paid for it with a credit card. I was impressed to see that the girl running my card did so with an iPad. Evidently there is an App for this, and a small device, which allows the card to slide through it, clips onto the top of the iPad.

I thought this was pretty cool, and thought i would share it with the forum members here who like to sell at craft shows. If you have an iPad, this would make a handy way to process payments (you would need a 3G).

Hi, Bob......i refuse to recognize any other flavor but peanut butter.

Square also has an app for androids.

Intuit also has a devise called "GO" and it is free but they only charge 2.7% per charge. That's the only cost. Works great!!!! About 40% of my sales last show was credit card.

Nope......Reese's Pieces (and if I'm lucky, a little hot fudge and peanut butter sauce).

Bob, since this is Western New York, you'd think chicken wing ice cream would be big around here......the cardiologists sure would love it!
