Square is an electronic payment system that allows users to accept credit card payments via mobile devices (specifically iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Android devices). These devices can accept payments with a card reader peripheral that allows users to swipe credit cards. Alternatively, users can accept payments via apps, bypassing the card reader altogether. This article will guide you through the process of signing up for the Square service.
