Description

Bidstation is an innovative point-of-sale platform specifically designed to enhance the efficiency of traditional silent auction fundraising events that typically use paper bid sheets. Utilizing Square payments, Bidstation integrates seamlessly with your organization’s USD Square account. At check-in, the Bidstation app allows for quick and easy capture of attendee credit card information, ensuring a smooth checkout experience without any long queues. You can charge cards on file at your convenience, making transactions straightforward. If you haven't yet created a Square account, you can set one up for free in just a few minutes. Since all payments and card storage are managed by Square, you can feel confident knowing that PCI compliance is upheld. This streamlined system allows you to check in guests, securely save credit card details, record bids and payments, and email receipts—all in one cohesive platform that eliminates lines and enhances the experience for attendees. Bidstation is compatible with any Android or iOS device that works with Square, as well as Windows computers, providing flexibility in how you manage your event. Currently, it is only available for Square accounts that operate in US dollars.

Description

Square offers a complimentary credit card reader that seamlessly integrates with its free Point of Sale app, enabling anyone to accept payments through their smartphones or tablets. By signing up for Square, you will receive your card reader in the mail at no cost, and there are no hidden commitments or lengthy contracts involved. The transaction fee is 2.6% plus 10¢ for each swipe, applicable to major credit cards like Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. You can receive your funds as quickly as the next business day. Square provides two types of magstripe readers: one designed for the headphone jack and another for the Lightning connector, ensuring you can choose the one that suits your device. Payments can be processed directly at the register, on the move, via invoices, or by manually inputting card details. The Square Point of Sale app is not only free but also user-friendly, providing all the necessary tools to effectively run your business. To enhance security, credit card information is encrypted during the swipe, and Square ensures that no card data remains on your device after the transaction is completed. This comprehensive system empowers small businesses to manage their sales and customer interactions efficiently.
