"There might not be a piece of tech more due for an update than the cash register. Enter Square, a payment platform created by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey. With the aid of a tiny magnetic card reader that attaches to a smart phone, Square lets anyone process credit cards. It might not do away with paper entirely — plenty of people still prefer cash — but you certainly don't need to wait for a receipt: sign on the screen, and Square sends a copy straight to e-mail."
It attaches to my phone (LG Ally) and takes credit cards! And, the customer signs the screen!
How cool is that? Then, guess what? It sends a receipt by email or text. I really think this is cool. It can figure taxes and record cash purchases too. All for a 2.75% charge, with no other fees at all. Immediate deposit to your account. Sound too good to be true? Well, I am about to find out! Stay tuned for more info on how it works!
