From what I have read on reviews from square, they suck and hold your money/take. (read the app reviews).

Hopefully this will be better!

I knew some really small business owners that used a smartphone to handle CC transaction, and it was very convenient

So if your client-base is spending on average less than $15.79 per transaction, then Square yields you more profit. If they're averaging more than $15.79, then looks like Groupon's the way to go.

EDIT: With Mastercard, Visa, and Discover cards, that is.

Paypal has one to, and it is better then the above 2. Paypal for the win.

Can you imagine how many more hackers would try to intercept the Groupon data ? This isn't more convenient, it causes more headaches in the long run. People who lose the device, programs that snoop to listen for number data, phones with the programs get lost, I predict a terrible day for this kind of technology... Trust me ^_^
