Introducing Square Market

Square is an awesome payments system for on-the-go merchants to sell their goods. The Square Reader, a small headphone jack credit card swiper makes it super easy for merchants to accept credit card payments with only a 2.75% processing fee per swipe. Today, Square is bringing its payments platform to the web with Square Market. Square Market is very similar in purpose to that of Etsy. The Market lets you sell whatever you want, at your own price. Square Market's site design is amazing, and definitely deserves some credit in that light. Merchant pages are gorgeous, and so are the other various windows that pop up while purchasing something.

Square Market lets small businesses or even an individual sell products on the Internet. As well, Square Market connects with Square's other mobile apps. Let's say Joe owns a coffee shop, CoffeeRules. Joe can sell his coffee in store, and online at Square Market. Additional features include that of adding store hours to shop description page, customer rewards, contact info, social media accounts, and past tweets of the business's account.

Square is still holding true on its vision of having extremely low fees for its merchants. Square Market charges a 2.75% processing fee per sale. There is no monthly charge, setup fee, or anything else to pay. You only tack on the processing fee after every order. This means that if you don't sell anything for let's say a month, you don't pay a nickel. This way of charging merchants is definitely a good one.
