Get Paid at Cons with Credit/Debit Cards! (Paypal Here)
13 years ago
I figured this was news worth sharing, perhaps old since I signed up a few weeks ago and didn't really think about writing on it. https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/.....it-card-reader
Have you ever set up shop in a convention? If you use Paypal often as your main method of payment for commissions like I do you probably would like "Paypal Here" which allows people to pay for your work with credit/debit cards wherever you are with an iOS device and a connection (wifi/3G/4G). I'd suggest this option since people don't have to run back and forth for ATMs that might not be convenient to their banks and instead of fumbling around with cash you just swipe. You can add Set Prices in the apps as Items so say you're selling prints or books you don't have to re-enter the prices.
Surprisingly both the App and the Card Reader are free, the only thing that is worth noting is that Paypal takes a 2.7% fee which I can deal with. The only alternative to this I think is Square but I don't have an account with square and the card reader costs $10 ON TOP of the 2.7% fee per sale. https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/.....it-card-reader is the link if you want to sign up and check it out.
Taking commissions!
Paypal ONLY
I will try to keep you from waiting, when I start a project I will be working non-stop because I'll need to get a lot of art done and gain a lot of community interest in the 2 months!

uhh, no, Square is a free reader too :] I got mine in the mail free and I don't even HAVE a smartphone, just thought the account and gadget would come in handy for myself or for friends. Paypal did the EXACT same pricing to fight the competition because when Square went public they took a LOT of customers, I'm sure people will flock back to paypal cause it's cheaper % fee than actual normal paypal fees, and because a lot of people already have established paypal accounts. But they're exactly same service in the rest of the regards other than brand naming :D

In retail it's $10 from the apple store, but I went to the site and yeah it was free. Which I thought was weird because that $10 price is there for no reason... thanks apple, cheap prices as always. I chose paypal too because I already have an account set up so it wasnt too complicated

At Anthrocon it was $12.40 or something on the shelf in the USPS/Kinkos store or whatever. but on the box it said you got a $10 credit or something when you bind it to an account. It's so you can't just walk up take all of them and leave none for anyone else. So more of a Rebate style when in physical stores. Plus that tiny bit for shelf cost rental and payroll of physical store.
