It’s so cool seeing how far technology has come, even in the last 3 or 4 years. I’m sure its only a matter of time before companies start issuing business phones with the Square, so customers can pay right there on the spot w/o any of the phone call hassles and stuff.
This device offers great ease of use and also helps in saving the time of user. It is just awesome.
