 Welcome to an unboxing of something that I think is really cool. Now I don't know if you guys have heard of Square, but usually when I think of Square, I think of, you know, pants that are hiked up to about here, and then glasses. I'll need to borrow these. Thank you. Okay. So we've got some glasses, and we've got maybe like an overbite. So this is what I think of when I think of Square. I could be wrong. Maybe Square is not about that at all. Actually I know for a fact Square is not about that at all, because the kind of Square I'm talking about is a totally different kind of Square. This Square is square.ca, square.com, square.ca slash FR if you live in Quebec, and good for you if you do. This is the way for everyday schmucks like me or you or anyone else to take credit card payments from people, which seems sort of like bizarro land. Like how does just anybody take a credit card payment because, I mean, it wasn't that long ago that, you know, even like, it's not that long ago that pizza started being able to be paid for by credit card. So it's just kind of crazy. So what you do is you sign up. It takes just a couple minutes. So I signed up because I was sort of curious about this. You're ready to accept credit cards. You download the app from the App Store or Google Play, which I have done on my iPhone. Sign into your account and plug in your card reader. Get paid fast. Funds are automatically sent for direct deposit to your bank account. So you can take Visa and MasterCard. You get a couple little stickers that you can put on your shop or your car or, you know, wherever else you're doing business out of, I suppose. Let's go ahead and get signed in here. So you open up the app. There you go. Payor app, and it is as simple as, wait for it, wait for it, keying in a number. So let's say $88.88, swiping a card, swipe card to charge, or you can clear it or whatever else you want to do. And it's apparently that simple. Now I'm not actually going to swipe a card, but you can see the dongle is very straightforward. So it just takes a magnetic stripe. You can actually take payments by keying it in as well, but they have a different charge rate for that. So just like credit card fees. And this is a funny thing that a lot of consumers don't necessarily know. When you pay with your credit card, the retailer or the restaurant or wherever else, they are getting fees up the wazoo. So you guys enjoy your travel rewards and your cash back and all that stuff. It's coming directly out of the merchant's pocket at the end of the day. You are getting charged for it. So what's cool about this is that the rates are actually fairly competitive with what you'd encounter if you used Visa or MasterCard on your own. So I think it was something in the neighborhood of 2.5 or 2.75%. Maybe I can get some confirmation. Do you remember? I don't know if she doesn't remember. Okay, but either way, you can go to square.com and you can find out, or actually I don't know if it's square.com, but square.ca for sure. You can find out the rates. So I thought it was really neat. So I picked one up. It was free. It was a gift to me for free. So now I have one. Now I can take credit card payments from people for whatever reason I might want to do that. And it will cost me a few percent off the top. But you know, if I had to have someone, you know, someone owed me a hundred bucks and I knew that they were totally flaky and I knew they had a credit card and I knew they didn't have any cash and like we're there together. I'll be just, you know what? I'll eat the three dollars. Give me my 97 bucks and we're good. So that's how you can do that. Square dongle.
