    Default Paying Dancers - Squareup

    ...this has potential for dancers to cut out the middle man. But until it becomes common place in the business world, like paypal, i doubt guys will give up their card for dancers to swipe on their phone. I think i read somewhere that the receipt was GPS mapped and money was distributed the same day.

    "A new service called Square bridges the gap between the physical wallet and the digital smartphone by allowing users to swipe their credit or debit cards with their smartphones and pay for virtually anything."

    Okay, that's just way friggin' cool! A few things though. For dancers that means they'd need to set up a business account under their stage name probably for privacy reasons. Also, I wonder if AMEX will be involved since they don't want to have anything to do with adult businesses these days? Last, I'm curious if you'll need to pay Visa the $750 deposit to accept their cards since there's not merchant account?

    I actually have an app on my iphone that I can run cards through, as well as the ability to accept credits cards through paypal.

    But finding a custy that trusts you enough to give YOU their CC number instead of the club is another issue. I did have one paypal me money though and that was nice.

    ^^^ Except that if Paypal finds out you are using it for anything they consider to be adult business they'll freeze your account and possibly keep your money.

    What's the app on your phone?

    ^^^ Agreed!

    BTW, looks like they are going to accept American Express (46 seconds into video)... we'll see how long that lasts since we know dancers and other adult industry people will be hoping onto this!

    Is that way my club doesn't accept AMEX?

    ...and you can take an iphone pic of yourself with your paying customer as evidence that he was there with you should he want to dispute it.

    ^^^ Haha - true - except that I don't think many will be willing.


    Out of curiosity, how many of you customers would be willing to pay using Square if it went directly to a dancer rather than through the club? I'm wondering if this is something I should consider implementing when it comes out?

    ...until i knew it was fool proof, i'd only consider a "well known" ATF.

    The thing that really bothers me is, i can see some hacker writing a program that lets people simply take the card info/signature, whatever, and it ends up wrecking my account and credit.

    ^^^ I'd also be worried about having my phone stolen and if any information were stored on it. That could be scary!

    Then again, when I was younger I applied for a credit card and the bank got hacked and my info stolen... so nothing is 100% full proof - even banks.
