I actually have two square readers and the new chip reader coming next month. An Amozon reader (never used once) a Payanywhere and a Paypal Here scanner.

Good for you...too many small businessmen are slow to adopt tech that will make their lives easier. The % per transaction does eat into your profit, but the easy answer to that is to raise prices by a slight percentage to cover it, then offer a cash discount price if you want people to feel like they're getting a good deal.

My better half is a criminal defense atty....no, he doesn't take personal checks (LOL), except in very very rare circumstances. Square makes it MUCH easier to collect, and a slight cash discount (quoted over the phone) can sometimes entice potential clients to show up with cash in hand. Of course, he also accepts barter at times....shrimp, etc.
