Why you should buy the Square Terminal

Designed to work with all major credit and debit cards, Square collects a 2.6% fee on all transactions, plus 10 cents for every dip, tap, or swipe. Funds are deposited into your bank account as quick as the next business day, and Square allows you to cancel subscriptions at any time. Speaking of which: Plan options include Square for Retail, Square for Restaurants POS, and Square Appointments.

The Square Terminal comes with a power adapter, but the built-in battery will allow you to use the reader with no AC outlet present. On a full charge, you should get about 24 hours of usage, with around five hours required for a full recharge. 

On top of its easy-to-read touchscreen, the Terminal also comes equipped with a magstripe reader and receipt printer. While some mobile card readers will work over Bluetooth, the Terminal requires a Wi-Fi or ethernet connection to operate. We’ve heard great things about Square’s customer service too, should you ever need to create a help desk ticket. 

Becoming an entrepreneur can be quite the daunting endeavor, but the Square Terminal makes it easy to start generating a profit fast! Save $20 when you purchase the device at Best Buy, and be sure to look at the other smart lock deals and security camera deals we found this week! After all, you’re going to want some great DIY surveillance tech to keep tabs on your new shop! And while you’re here, we also suggest reading up on some of Square’s other hardware, including the Square Kiosk , Square Stand , and Square Reader .

These Linkind smart bulbs are 37% off, and have one of the best apps I’ve used
Linkind A19 E26 color smart bulbs matter support -- smart bulb deal

I know some people think that a lot of smart home tech is frivolous, and some of it is, I'll agree, but there are certain things that make daily life a little better. For example, I have security cameras, a video doorbell, smart lights, a smart garage door, and all of these things make living in my home convenient. With my lights, for example, I can create on-off schedules and I don't have to get up to use them. After a long day, that's a welcome feature, believe me.

With a smart video doorbell, I can answer my door, converse with parcel delivery teams, and shoo off solicitors -- we get a lot of them where I live. But among all of those experiences and devices, one of my biggest qualms is with the apps you use to interact with this tech.
