Does square work with services where you travel to your clients?

I'd love to offer my clients the convenience but it looks like Square requires you be based in one spot - or at least not many spots. I'm an equine bodyworker and travel to my clients; they are ALL over. It doesn't seem like Square would be very user friendly for this sort of business. If a client wanted to pay with a credit card, wouldn't you have to enter his/her address as a location?

Hello @Nimbus! Welcome to the Seller Community.

Square is actually great for mobile businesses! We have a number of food trucks, personal trainers, and contractors that are always on the go that use Square! You can always set your location as a mobile business.

You would never have to enter a clients address just to take a payment. Square uses the location services on your device to track payment locations. All you would need is a reader and a device to take a payment! 😄

If you have any questions on how to get started please let me know. I would be happy to help.

Thank you! I could find nothing on the site that mentioned a mobile business setting so your response was key to my decision to try Square.
