Does it actually cost Square less when you swipe?
Yes. Credit card processors charge a lower fee if you can say that you got the number from swiping a card, rather than manually entering it in.
- rottencupcakes 16y agoIs this verifiable? Is there extra information on your magnetic strip? Could you not just push the same signal as the credit card numbers into the iphone's microphone jack?
- dangrossman 16y agoYou can always lie and send the code saying it's a swiped transaction without swiping a card. The risk there is losing the ability to ever accept credit cards for the rest of your life. If you violate a policy like that, you're added to the Terminated Merchant File. Not only is the business's information placed in the file, but the names and social security numbers of every principal of the business. MAPs will check the list before approving a new account. None of the business's owners will be able to accept credit cards again, even if they form new companies.
