Although I am not in a pinch, this is of interest and i've considered the idea, like maybe to carry more print canvases on trips to sell. But evidently I would need a signal, which means it may be useless in a park?
Does the app only work with signal, or can it work enough to get a signature stored in the phone and send off the transaction once into a signal zone?
Also, one guy's review on Youtube was good, but then he edited the end of Square Up to a "Fail" pointing out that some places like Europe got rid of strips and went to just chips. He was forecasting the USA going to chips only in the next 10 yrs..
Presently, my new Visa has a chip in it and places like Home Depot, etc., run both options at the checkout. Seems that gas stations are all using the strip part wherever I get fuel lately. But this got me wondering whether the Square reader will be short lived.
Anybody using readers on their phones that have chip readers too?
You have to swipe your foot through the card reader really fast before it will work correctly.
He needs to have chip installed in his foot first for the service to work.
