00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:13,759
welcome to an unboxing of something that I think is really cool now I don't know

2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:19,680
if you guys have heard of square but usually when I think of square I think

3
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:23,080
of you know pants that uh that are hiked

4
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:26,720
up to about here and then um glasses

5
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:29,560
I'll need to borrow these thank you okay

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:34,360
so we got some glasses and we got maybe like you know like an over

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:37,760
bite so this is what I think of when I think of square I could be wrong maybe

8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:41,399
maybe square is not about that at all actually I know for a fact square is not

9
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:46,360
about that at all because the kind of square I'm talking about oh shirt's

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:51,039
tucked in there fix it is a totally different kind of square this square is

11
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:56,440
square. CA square.com square. if you live in Quebec and good

12
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:59,239
for you if you do um this is the way for

13
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:03,680
everyday Schmucks like me or you or anyone else to take credit card payments

14
00:01:01,519 --> 00:01:08,119
from people which seems sort of like Bizarro land like how does just anybody

15
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,320
take a credit card payment because I mean it wasn't that long ago that you

16
00:01:10,119 --> 00:01:16,119
know even like it's it's not that long ago that pizza started being able to be

17
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:19,840
paid for by credit card so it's just kind of crazy so what you do is you sign

18
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:23,280
up it takes just a couple minutes so I I signed up because I was sort of curious

19
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,360
about this you're ready to accept credit cards you download the app from the app

20
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,520
store Google Play which I've done on my iPhone sign into your account and plug

21
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,040
in your card reader get paid paid fast funds are automatically sent for direct

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:40,159
deposit to your bank account so you can take Visa and MasterCard you get a couple little stickers that you can put

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,240
on your shop or your car or you know

24
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:47,399
wherever else you're doing business out of I suppose let's go ahead and uh get

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:51,479
signed in here so you open up the app there you go Square app and it is as

26
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:58,840
simple as wait for

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,719
it wait for it keying in a number so

28
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:07,520
let's say $88 88 swiping a card swipe card to charge

29
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:12,720
or you can clear it or whatever else you want to do and uh it's apparently that

30
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,599
simple now I'm not actually going to swipe a card but you can see the dongle

31
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,599
is very straightforward so it just takes a magnetic stripe you can actually take

32
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:22,720
payments by keying it in as well but they have a different uh they have a

33
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,280
different charge rate for that so just like credit card fees and this is this

34
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:32,599
is a funny thing that a lot of consumers don't necessarily know when you pay with

35
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:34,599
your credit card the retailer or the um

36
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:39,720
restaurant or wherever else they are getting like fees up the wo so you guys

37
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,920
you know enjoy your travel rewards and your cash back and all that stuff it's

38
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:49,560
coming directly out of the Merchant's pocket at the end of the day you are getting charged for it so what's cool

39
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:52,920
about uh what's cool about this is that the rates are actually fairly

40
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:58,040
competitive with what you'd encounter if you used Visa or Mastercard on your own

41
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:03,120
so I think it was something in the neighborhood of two and a half for 2.75%

42
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:07,400
maybe I can get some confirmation do you remember she doesn't remember okay but

43
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:11,640
either way you can go to square.com and you can find out or actually I don't

44
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,640
know if it's square.com but

45
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,080
square.com credit card and I knew they didn't have any cash and like we're

46
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,720
there together I'll be just you know what I'll eat the $3 give me my 97 bucks

47
00:03:36,519 --> 00:03:41,959
and and we're good so so that's that's how you can do that with the square

48
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:45,159
