Need help with manual transactions

Aquarius38 — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 21:33:51 GMT

I'm trying to take credit/debit card orders over the phone using the app and have some questions.

1. Do I need their 3 digit code on the back of their card? Or just their account number and exp date?

2. On the app, where do I go to make a manual transaction so I can enter their credit card info?

3. If a customer pays me $50.00, how much of the manual transaction fees will be taken out or how much will I have left over?

4. How do I send them their receipt? Do I just ask for their email address and email it to them?

This article should help you out. https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/5176

You’ll want to process the card while you have them on the phone not later.

$1.90 would be the manual transaction cost in a $50 transaction.

You need card number, zip, exp, cvv,

What app do I need to manually process credit card payments, either on my phone or on my computer, this is after I sent the square invoice?

A customer just pulled back 50.00 on a card that was swiped and signature taken. I would be very careful on phone orders that seem a lot less secure.

how do I pair up a blue tooth square up to an Iphone. I am having a problem pairing up so that I can use it. I know that the battery is fully charged but my iphone (blue tooth on) just oscillates and never completes the connection. I have asked for help from square up but get no help. I have asked for an adapter that will fit directly into my phone but no response. Do you have a phone number for contact?
