Square
The Simplest Way to Make Money
Innovation takes many forms. Sometimes innovation has a strong technology component. Sometimes innovation has a strong business component. True innovation, though, solves a business need with powerful technology. Square's innovation is that of bringing mobile acceptance to all who desire to accept credit cards. The decision to accept a payment tender is made at the time the tender is presented by the consumer... unfortunately the traditional process of obtaining a merchant account takes several weeks, if you are approved.
Square solves for the method of acceptance, the mobile device you own, and for the problem of acceptance, the length of time to obtain a merchant account.
Sign up for Square, get your free card reader in the mail, and start swiping. Accept all credit cards. No hidden fees, no commitments - ever.
