			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-up-card-reader4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-328" title="square-up-card-reader4" src="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-up-card-reader4.jpg" alt="" width="442" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>A few days ago my <em>free</em> <a href="https://squareup.com/">Square</a> card reader showed up in the mail, and I&#8217;ve been dying to use it ever since. Today, I got that opportunity</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/robert_brady">Robert</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/pincock">Andrew</a> and I met up for a lunch PPC working group at <a href="http://www.nicolitaliapizzeria.com/">Nicolitalias Pizza</a>, and when it came time to pay, I put all three orders on my Visa. I owed Robert lunch, but not Andrew&#8230;so I thought I&#8217;d use Square to collect.</p>
<p>Could I have accomplished this for free with PayPal? Sure. But that wouldn&#8217;t have been nearly as fun.</p>
<h2>Square Payments on the iPhone in 10 easy steps:</h2>
<p>1) On our way out of the restaurant I plugged the Square card reader into my iPhone&#8217;s headphone jack.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-up-card-reader.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-313" title="square-up-card-reader" src="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-up-card-reader-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>2) Then I opened the Square app and entered in the amount owed&#8211;$8.00.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-316" href="http://www.tommcconnon.com/take-credit-card-payments-with-square-iphone/square-app-eight-dollars-3/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-316" title="square-app-eight-dollars" src="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-app-eight-dollars2.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="384" /></a></p>
<p>3) Then I added a note, including the restaurant name (Nico&#8217;s)</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-317" href="http://www.tommcconnon.com/take-credit-card-payments-with-square-iphone/square-app-eight-dollars-note/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-317" title="square-app-eight-dollars-note" src="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-app-eight-dollars-note.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="384" /></a></p>
<p>4) Next it gave me the option to take a photo of the item being purchased (I snapped a shot of the restaurant sign)</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-318" href="http://www.tommcconnon.com/take-credit-card-payments-with-square-iphone/square-app-eight-dollars-note-photo/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-318" title="square-app-eight-dollars-note-photo" src="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-app-eight-dollars-note-photo.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="384" /></a></p>
<p>5) Then I clicked the &#8220;charge&#8221; button in the top right and selected the payment type on the next screen (card, in this case)</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-319" href="http://www.tommcconnon.com/take-credit-card-payments-with-square-iphone/square-app-charge/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-319" title="square-app-charge" src="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-app-charge.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="384" /></a></p>
<p>6) Then it took me to the Card Payment page where I was prompted to swipe Andrew&#8217;s card.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-320" href="http://www.tommcconnon.com/take-credit-card-payments-with-square-iphone/square-app-charge-card-number/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-320" title="square-app-charge-card-number" src="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-app-charge-card-number.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="384" /></a></p>
<p>7) I swiped the card (took me 2 tries to get it to read, but that was probably my fault). Then it authorized&#8230;</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-321" href="http://www.tommcconnon.com/take-credit-card-payments-with-square-iphone/square-app-charge-authorizing/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-321" title="square-app-charge-authorizing" src="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-app-charge-authorizing.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="384" /></a></p>
<p>8) After authorization, it proceeded to the signature page where Andrew used his fingertip to sign for the transaction via the touch screen (the photo below is a re-creation for privacy&#8217;s sake).</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-323" href="http://www.tommcconnon.com/take-credit-card-payments-with-square-iphone/square-app-charge-signature-2/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-323" title="square-app-charge-signature" src="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-app-charge-signature1.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="256" /></a></p>
<p>9) After clicking &#8220;continue&#8221; it asked if I would like to send an email receipt to Andrew. I did, so I simply entered his Gmail address where prompted.</p>
<p>10) Ta-da! Andrew gets an emailed receipt, and I can view mine when I log into my SquareUp.com account&#8230;with a cool map that shows where the transaction took place! (click to enlarge)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-payment-receipt.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-325" title="square-payment-receipt" src="http://www.tommcconnon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/square-payment-receipt-233x300.png" alt="" width="233" height="300" /></a></p>
