Melbourne business Pipes Plumbing
recently started using Square Reader
and is finding the ability to accept
onsite payments is improving cashflow.
“Before I had Square, I had to rely
on cash, checks or direct debit from
people in order to get payed. But now,
as soon as a job’s complete, I can
invoice people on the spot and process
the payment straight away. The job’s
done and the payment’s already gone
through,” says Pipes Plumbing owner
Andy McKinnar.
There are a range of options
currently available which come in a
variety of shapes and sizes – from
small pieces of hardware that plug
into the headphone jack on a smart
phone to portable, Bluetooth enabled
EFTPOS machines.
