Make the most of your new mobile Square POS. A fully integrated point-of-sale system helps save you time and money (no more costly keying errors). And with the smallest and most mobile card reader available in the market, you can accept eftpos payments anywhere with simplicity and ease, giving you more time to focus on growing your business.
Here are the seven key things you need to know about running your business with a mobile card reader and POS.
You can sell anywhere
Many of us nowadays have an Apple or Android smartphone or tablet device. And now all you need to run your business on-the-go is this device and a Square Reader. Plug Square Reader into your headphone jack and almost instantly you can accept debit and credit card payments anywhere your business takes you.
You get paid quickly
Your payments show up in your bank account in one to two business days, so you know what you’re getting paid and that you’ll get paid fast. Check out Square’s transfer schedule.
You can set your close-of-day time
Different businesses shut up shop at different times. If you’re a tradie, you probably start early and finish before 5 p.m. If you own a small wine bar, you open late and close around midnight. With Square’s flexible close-of-day feature, you can enter the closing time that works best for your bookkeeping. Learn how to adjust here.
You can give partial refunds
Say your customer wants to return just one or two items. Rather than getting caught up in multiple transactions, Square Point of Sale allows you to make a refund in your Dashboard or directly in the app — just enter the precise amount you’d like to refund. Customers won’t even need to take their card out of their wallet. Simple. Learn more about partial refunds.
Bust the queue
A busy shop is a good thing — more customers mean more sales. But meeting that extra demand at the point of sale can be hard, and a long line can turn away customers. Luckily, you can cut down the queue by grabbing an extra Square Reader, plugging it into a tablet or smartphone, and sending your employees out to take orders on the fly.
Speed up checkout
A faster checkout process allows you to sell to more customers. Because Square is an integrated point-of-sale and card payment reader, you’ll be processing transactions fast and avoiding any messy, manual keying errors that come with non-integrated card payment terminals. For applicable transactions under $35, you can also securely skip PIN entry to speed up checkout.
You can process cash too
Square POS doesn’t just allow you to accept credit and debit card payments. You can record your cash and any other transactions, too, to get a full view of every transaction your business is processing.
