while I use a standard third party processor at my store (locked into one of those contracts you mentioned) I do have a Square account. As long as you have phone signal even if you lose electricity (like in our recent storm) it is still possible to accept cards.

Great examples, guys! And thanks, Joe, for catching the “doohickie” reference after we talked about it on Twitter. :)

I wonder if local banks could create their own version of Square and their competitors? Or if they could join the Dwolla network? Hmmmm….

We use Square to accept donations, membership payments, event ticket purchases, etc. It’s fantastic! I just wish there were some connection to our community bank that we love and is so supportive of our community and our organization. Also, Becky, great job with working “doohickie” into a post! ;-)

I love Square. We’ve got the Bartlesville Symphony Orchestra using Square. Great way for Non-Profits to collect money during fund-raising events. We are currently selling raffle tickets and collecting money via Square.
