Square Payments is a super easy software that allows you to take card payments and not have to always request cash. I find that the mini card reader makes it easy to travel to various bake sales, farmers markets, etc and accept payments with ease.
Pros
I love that Square Payments sent me a free card reader to attach to my charging port. This was super convenient as I am starting up my baking business and do not have to rely on getting cash.
Cons
I have not found a con for Square Payments yet, everything has been wonderful.
