      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Datguythere80,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Which app are you planning to use, Square has several ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What products do you plan to sell ?&amp;nbsp; (That determines who to market to and who to buy from.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do you plan to sell online or in person or both ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;By understanding what you have in mind will help other Community Members here and hopefully provide some thoughts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
