I wasn't sure where to post this, please feel free to move it to a more appropriate forum.
I came across a slick new credit-card payment processing service yesterday and immediately thought of NCWWers who are selling products at craft shows, flea markets, etc. It is called "Square" - it plugs into iPhones and Android phones and allows you to accept credit cards on the spot without cumbersome merchant accounts and exorbitant monthly fees. It would also be handy for contractors or other independent service providers. Maybe this is old news, but its the first time I've come across it.
the site is http://squareup.com
Engadget reviewed it last year:

Enjoy!
I have no affiliation with the product. I haven't even used it, so this is not an endorsement. Just thought it might be helpful to someone :wsmile:
