I don't think they have that option yet, they are growing and improving the system so maybe in the future they will.

Just mark up your charging amount by the 2.75% before quoting the price, that way the price comes out the same.Only thing I have to decide on, whether to make the customer pay the 2.75% fee for using their CC, or just bite the bullet and pay for it myself.

Charges are a cost of doing business and should be factored into what you charge. If spread out to all your customers the cost is minimal enough to them to the point that they have no clue yet not a liability as far as your concerned. Also need to remember it will be considered a write-off in tax filings.

I use PayPal for my online business transactions, but I use Square for the transactions that I am face to face with the person.

PayPal has the same type of reader for FREE paying the same fees per transaction you pay now

I know some of our gas stations in town have a cash price and a credit card price.

That is true. When they started that it was not post on the road side signs. Someone must have made a fuss because it is post on there signs now!
Makes you mad when you would see a price and pull in only to find the credit price is so much higher then advertised. The old,( Bait and Switch)!

Geo being a biz man you should use a card! My brother-in law is a large paint contractor. He buys all his supplies with an American Express card.
They offer him free miles, him and my sister are able to fly first class back and forth to Greece for free a couple times a year.
Paying with a card also makes bookkeeping a lot easier! Just be sure to pay off what you charge at the end of period and don't hold a balance!

Sorry, my apologies for not being more clearer. Was referring to personal things that I buy. I have a check card, but I rarely use it, except to take cash out to pay bills.
When it comes to business, it is all either cash (receiving), or check, or money order in some cases. Now it will be CC's as well.
I have always accepted CC, but it was always done via Paypal.com. Since I require to be paid at completion of a job, paypal.com is not always useful.
I am sure square, or the other firm I signed up with, will increase business a lot for me in 2012 for sure.
I never have had any other CC other than our check cards. To much hassle and issues for me.

Wished I noticed their store locator before. Could have already had one. O well, mine will be here by weeks end.

Thanks for this thread, I have been thinking about getting one of these for awhile. Sometimes people have to run to the bank and get money, or they dont pay for everything to get removed because they dont have the money. If I have a credit card reader I feel I can get a lot more business.
I read a personal finance book awhile back and it talked about how in the 1990's (I believe it was the 90's) Grocery stores started to offer store credit cards. They offered them for the convenience and for the extra support to buy goods at their store if the person didnt have the money. But, they also found out that even the people that would pay their monthly balance in full every month on their credit card, these people would buy more groceries with a credit card opposed to paying cash. There is something physiological about counting your cash and then handing it over to someone to pay for something, you are a little more cautious about what you spend with cash.
I dont mean to sound manipulative in wanted a credit card reading for my customers rather, it will be useful for those customers that like to haggle the price down when the price is already at a fair price. Maybe if they have a credit card they wont be too worried about haggling over that $20-$40.
