03 Aug 09 Square iPhone app lets you charge credit cards on the go
In the past there have been several offerings for those who want to use their iPhone to charge one of their customers credit card but they require you to punch in the card’s entire number.
A recently announced project codenamed Square is looking to remedy that as it will make use of a magentic-strip reader that plugs into the iPhone’s headphone port. All users of the app need to do is swipe the card, punch in the amount and have the customer sign right on the phone. After the transaction is complete it is geotagged and a receipt is sent via email.
There’s no word on when exactly this will hit the market but when it does it is sure to be very valuable to those who do selling on the go.

Square is not the only mobile payments solution avaialable for the iPhone (although it certainly is getting a lot of publicity!)
For the last few months I have been using iSwipe, an iPhone app from AppNinjas.

Very easy to use, and overall it’s a very effective way to take payments.
