Square Reader for Credit Cards Deal
I use a square reader to accept credit card payments at art fairs. They have a deal where if I sign someone up, we each get the transaction fee waived (I believe it is 2.75%) for 180 days or $1,000 in sales. As I'm looking to begin art fairs I was wondering anyone would be in-terested in benefiting from this. If you do, my email is lmbrbr@hotmail.com or 262-483-9226. Thank You! Thanks Lynn
