Square's digital receipt view
Square, a upcoming payment service is poised to leap frog our expectations of mobile payments. Apparently they’re working through a limited beta, then roll-out early 2010.
I say it at least once a week hastily paying for something and wasn’t quite listening to what the clerk was saying then simply replying with the question, “Are we square?”
I look forward to seeing one of these receipts in my inbox, the only thing missing is the line for business purpose. Yes, I prefer to expense my cappuccinos. I suppose those features can easily be added in the near future.
Digital receipts, easy entry of anyone wanting to accept credit card payments, photo verification, built-in rewards capabilities, innovative card reader, and mobile? Smok’in simple! Oh, and the social responsibility to donate a penny to the charity of your choice in every transaction? I think these guys are on to something.
Did I mention the card reader plugs into the audio jack on your device, not USB? That’s right up there with Ocarina and blowing in the microphone. Nice work Square team!
