We have two big events coming up and this seems like an awesome way to accept credit cards while on location. Anyone else using Square?

I have used it since they first released it.

I have 3 readers at the moment. :D They send me the latest version each time.

Most common uses:
Graphic Design payments & and food runs.

Great system, service, and little device. GO SQUARE!

Last I checked, no. I definitely understand people wanting more than 1 for different locations. I carry the latest one with me in my camera bag all the time.

Sorry you are incorrect.
They have a list of questions for you to answer, kind of like a survey and will ask how many you want. Email the info to them and in about 2-3 weeks they are at your door. Plus they are friendly about it.

Oh sweet! I'm glad they changed that. You should have been there at the beginning. People going nuts over not having more than 1. (by that I mean the people on the forums)

Thanks for the correction.

I got in just in time to wait 4 months or so for my first reader and wonder if they were even ever going to materialize and watch people freak over their private data being given to a flaky company. I'm glad they finally got their act together. They are amazing. They accidentally sent me 3 readers instead of one, and it was nice until I lost all but one. That's how I found out about getting more. I like having one in my bag, at home and a backup.

I have had mine for a couple of weeks. So far, two transactions (both tests) have gone through perfectly. I plan to use it at the next softball tournament for on site sales. I tried it out today at the park and no problem. Just used the Android phone 3G (no wi-fi was available).

A receipt for the payment is emailed to the customers' email address with my company name, item description and details and a Google map of where the transaction took place.
