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

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:19.680
if you guys have heard of square but usually when I think of square I think

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:23.080
of you know pants that uh that are hiked

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:26.720
up to about here and then um glasses

00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:29.560
I'll need to borrow these thank you okay

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:34.360
so we got some glasses and we got maybe like you know like an over

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

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

00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:46.360
about that at all because the kind of square I'm talking about oh shirt's

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:51.039
tucked in there fix it is a totally different kind of square this square is

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:56.440
square. CA square.com square. if you live in Quebec and good

00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:59.239
for you if you do um this is the way for

00:00:56.440 --> 00:01:03.680
everyday Schmucks like me or you or anyone else to take credit card payments

00:01:01.519 --> 00:01:08.119
from people which seems sort of like Bizarro land like how does just anybody

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:12.320
take a credit card payment because I mean it wasn't that long ago that you

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

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

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

00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:26.360
about this you're ready to accept credit cards you download the app from the app

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:30.520
store Google Play which I've done on my iPhone sign into your account and plug

00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:33.040
in your card reader get paid paid fast funds are automatically sent for direct

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

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:42.240
on your shop or your car or you know

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

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

00:01:50.119 --> 00:01:58.840
simple as wait for

00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.719
it wait for it keying in a number so

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:07.520
let's say $88 88 swiping a card swipe card to charge

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

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

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:19.599
is very straightforward so it just takes a magnetic stripe you can actually take

00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:22.720
payments by keying it in as well but they have a different uh they have a

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.280
different charge rate for that so just like credit card fees and this is this

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

00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:34.599
your credit card the retailer or the um

00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:39.720
restaurant or wherever else they are getting like fees up the wo so you guys

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.920
you know enjoy your travel rewards and your cash back and all that stuff it's

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

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.920
about uh what's cool about this is that the rates are actually fairly

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:58.040
competitive with what you'd encounter if you used Visa or Mastercard on your own

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%

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.400
maybe I can get some confirmation do you remember she doesn't remember okay but

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

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:11.640
know if it's square.com but

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

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

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
