How to Accept Card Payments at Craft Shows with Square Card Reader!

[@reginahurt8391]

You are very knowledgeable and have a lot of energy and it shows you love what you do. My one suggestion is to SLOW DOWN A LITTLE. Its hard to follow you without have to replay over and over again. Don't lose the excitement but slow down when it comes to the step by step explanation. Thank you.

[@swather777]

I agree

[@terricausey6191]

Yes you are cute and knowledgeable but would suggest slowing down and watch your caffeine intake ❤. I had a hard time following you.

[@PatriciaOLeary-Dunn]

do you use your square for cash payments so you can charge them the sales tax?

[@AcryliWoodDesigns]

How do I create categories?

[@jamiewilson3620]

I’ve also learned that if you’re at an event and they don’t have wifi, you can still take credit/debit payments in the “offline” mode in Square and they will process the next time you do have wifi. 👍🏻

[@camryns_cute_creations]

I didn't know that! That's super helpful information! Thank you! 😁😊

[@lynneramsey5476]

That’s awesome to know!

[@Anne1000.]

Try not doing offline. I’ve read a few negatives on that and people being able to dismiss charges?? Look into that.

[@lisassparklescove]

That's cool to know ty

[@prairiegal3056]

[@brittmullennix4736]

Yesss please share! Love your enthusiasm, it gets me totally excited to start using Square :)

[@trudieandres1465]

Yes please!!

[@ktrojanov]

I know you mentioned in another video that you can sell online through Square (as opposed to through Etsy), but I can't remember if you said you use that as your online sales platform or not. I'm in the process of making my website/sales portal through Square, and I'd love to see that in a part 2, if that's possible. Thanks!

[@sarahyount4713]

Yes! Also when someone pays cash at a vendor event do you add sales tax? Or just include it so you don’t have to mess with change?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

@@sarahyount4713 I include it with cash so I don’t have to mess with change :)

I have had so many questions about starting my crochet business. Thank you for these videos, Camryn! They have helped me so much. About five minutes after watching this video, I downloaded the Square app and started exploring.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

You are so welcome!:) so glad it helped!

[@thesnugglestitch]

Silly question, but do you collect sales tax at the rate of the city you’re doing a market in or is it always just at the rate of the city you live in? I hope that makes sense. The rates are different for the city I live in and the city I do markets in.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

You will be collecting in the city you sold in! Hope that helps :)

[@darrennorgren2995]

You talk way to fast, slow down to get you great information out

She obviously is not giving information to us. She is promoting for Square.😂

[@theabby9494]

I was looking into different card readers. I'm very scared when it comes to these POS systems. They're very intimidating to me. But you explained it very thoroughly and this video was very helpful. This one seems like it would suit my business. I'll look more into it though. Thank you very much and I hope you get that sponsorship very soon. :)

[@corynnecasten5515]

Still looking where the CC reader charge is. It's not a sevice charge, and I'm just not seeing it. Any advice?

[@karafay80]

Do you add sales tax separately when the customer pays cash? Do you bring coin change?

[@annaberry9411]

Can you do a video on licensing/ if you have an LLC? Would also love a video about paying taxes for your business!

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Yes those videos will be coming this year!!!:)

[@nancywhite7036]

Do you have to plug in the square for each sale? Or can you leave the square plugged in all the time??

[@janaturzakova4027]

Thank you for the great and informative video! If I'm only planning to do like 2 craft shows a year and I'm doing it as a hobby (don't have a business license), would I still charge the sales tax? How would I report it on my taxes?

[@kyleeburgess2420]

​ @camrynscutecreations Could you create a video on how to use the web application and how to track cash payments? Thank you for the video. I made an account and immediately got overwhelmed by all the options so this was a nice way to narrow in on some important things.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

I can definitely make a video helping with this!❤️

[@patriciathomson8436]

Completely different type of question....So i recently bought an inkless printer on Amazon for like 14 bucks.... do you think there is a way to print receipt from square on there? Btw i am obsessed with your videos your vibe is incredible and honestly you are the only person i can find worth watching for market advice! Love the work you put into everything! Stay amazing! ❤❤❤

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Awww I’m so glad the videos have been helpful!:) I haven’t looked into the printing receipts feature but I’m sure there is one! Lots of coffee shops around here use square and I’ve seen them do printed receipts :)

[@LastEscape]

Square won’t verify my identity no matter what I do, i’m heartbroken. 😩

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Shoot! Idk why!!!

[@WindfallDreams]

This is so helpful, I'm finally entering my market era, so I may need to check this out!! Where I'm from, the sales tax is 11.5%, but because of an artisan license, I'm not required to charge it. I gotta work with all that.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

[@sms57102]

Camryn do you also use a "scan to pay" sign?

[@mirandaslowik1393]

Camryn, love you’re videos! They have been super helpful in calming my nerves in this new venture. Question: do you personally track cash payments through the square app too? Another question…. Do you have a vendors license/tax Id number/ LLC?? These questions are the main thing holding me back form my first market, I’m overwhelmed!

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Yes you can put your cash sales through square as well! & I have a sole proprietorship business license :)

This video was very helpful! I'm new to square, just started using the card reader! Now, I feel like I have a better understanding how the app works! Thank you!

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Glad it was helpful!:)

[@trudieandres1465]

Can you use the app and all the features at no cost? I guess I’m just curious if they only charge you once you actually make a card sale… 🤔

[@SokhenIn]

Yes, the app itself is a fully functional point of sales, you dont pay until you make a card sale.

[@mamabreann5297]

Wait so it this like a third party app where it holds your money until you transfer it into your bank? Or does this hook to your bank account and one the customer swipes the money goes straight into your bank account?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Square is a device and service which links transactions to a preferred destination, such as PayPal or a bank account!

[@rvcasa]

SLOW DOWN !!

[@heatherhodgin7170]

When someone pays with cash, how do you enter that so that it updates your inventory?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

I keep a record of all my transactions, and manually update my inventory with those cash sales!

[@lisaproctor4856]

Is it a pain to deal with all those coins because the taxes bring cash customers to an uneven number?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Yes! Totally! I try to include the tax into my cash for that reason:)

[@kenvictor584]

My question is how do client find you on that app? Is there a link or something...also can someone buy from a different country as long as they swipe from their end?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Those are great questions! I’ll have to look into that!

[@angelicaesquivel2315]

This is super helpful for those of us who are jusy starting off. About the taxes: do you also recommend charging tax on cash payments? And what do you mean you had to 'eat up the cost" when doing taxes? Thanks!

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Hey there! So "eating the cost" means essentially not accounting for taxes in the pricing of a product. So, that means I would not raise the price of something in order to reduce the impact taxes have on the overall profit I have for that individual product. It is still being taxed, but the financial burden of the tax swings in my direction rather than the customer's. And for your cash question: if you have a business license, you need to be collecting taxes on all transactions where those taxes are applicable!

[@candice713]

Is there a way to add an acknowledgment (of sorts) when processing a payment. For example: I’m wondering if I can add a note at the time of payment stating that if they are buying something with eyes or buttons that they acknowledge the item is not for children under 3 years of age. Maybe I’m just being paranoid but just thinking of any sort of liabilities and having a record that they were informed.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

This is a great point! I’ll have to check on this!

[@musicalchick3]

Okay this maybe a weird question. But I'm signing up for square and it's asking me to put an address for my business but since it's a mobile business (since we do craft shows) I'm not sure what address to put? You don't use your personal address right? Do you use a PObox address?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

A PO Box would be a great this to put here instead! If not, your home address will work!

[@Sassystrawberry001]

I’m new to craft shows and I don’t know if I should have tips turned on or off. What do you recommend?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Hmmm, personally I have tips turned off because I set up my prices to account for as much profit as I want to make to feel like I am being fairly compensated for the product and time. Of course, you are free to turn tips on! But I think a better approach would be to set your prices from the beginning so that you feel comfortable with the income that generates, and not fell like tips are necessary to have!

[@ReviewsAndHowTos]

I love Square! I just reviewed the chip/contactless reader and was looking for a good overview of Square. I'll link your video!

Totally! I use to do that too and it was harder to track everything!

[@JelscreationsNmore]

What wouod you tell the customer if they asked how is it 38 when we have labled it was 35 not knowing or thinking about sales tax

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Hmmm I’m not sure if I totally understand your question!

@@camryns_cute_creations sorry my phone went crazy say we have a beanie marked at 35 like you said and they go to pay you 35 and you say that's 38.00 and they how can it be when you have 35 on it do you tell them it's tax or how wouod you explain.

[@JacqueBopp]

Do you also charge the customer the Square transaction fee or does that come out of your profits?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

I try to incorporate fees like that into my prices so customers aren't being charged additionally for that! So, sometimes I essentially take on the fee, and sometimes that fee is already covered in the price!

[@mamachicken1548]

So, just to be clear it isn't "free". Each transaction 2.6% plus 10 cents. Your beanie is really pretty!! Congrats on your business!! Thank you for your video.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Thanks so much! The sign was a a Christmas gift:) I'll have to check the brand!

[@thaciaschmidt1610]

What if someone does pay in cash? How do you remove from your inventory and do you add sales tax for that as well?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

That can get tricky, it depends on how you want to do that-- you can have tax included in cash but that means you'll be eating that sales tax at the end of the quarter so keep that in mind! You can always go back and update cash sales in your inventory after the market too!

[@lynneramsey5476]

I have a question for you. So I am making bracelets, and earrings. If I want to set this up, would I go by what I made, or do individual prices? Also, you can show pictures of it correct? I want to start using square when I go to the farmers market, or to places that I can set up a booth.
