Square goes anti-gun...

[flyandscuba]

If you sign up for payanywhere -- and tell them that someone referred you, that person will get $20. Tell them it was me -- and I'll spilt it with you! :usa:

Canceled my square today went with payanywhere, and bill I want my half. just my 100 cent jj

 

[Ross]

Any alternatives you know of?

They have competitors and not all of them are anti-gun. Here's one. From my blog, The Lunch Counter.

If you are a business owner and don’t agree with the stance Square has taken, regardless of what industry you are in, there are alternatives to using Square Inc. One is Payment Alliance International. They also have a NRA & NSSF Endorsed Shooting Sports Payments Package.

 

[M.O.A.]

Good information sir. Was actually looking at using them for my business.. let us know who you decide to use.

Everyone needs to stop using vendors that use square, this needs to cost them!

Does anyone know if PayAnywhere allows manual entry of card numbers? I sometimes take payment over the phone and don't physically touch a card.

 

[flyandscuba]

Anyone I see at gun shows sill using Square -- I'll give them the heads up and information on payanywhere. This guy admires Bloomberg! And wants to be Mayor of NYC? Heck, if I had known that to begin with -- I never would have signed up with Square...

Yes - you can enter manually...even accept EBT cards!

 

[DevilDog]

even accept EBT cards!

Hell, I'm signing up then!

 

[FNHman]

I called payanywhere today and can confirm the manual entry for card numbers. They also said that payment post 24hrs for merchants or 2-4 days into your bank account for regular Joe's. merchant approval is given after review of your business license, tax I'd #, etc.

I just signed up with PayAnywhere. They have no firearm related prohibitions, and they have a lower rate than Square does. And have no monthly fees or minimum like Square does. They're just not jerks when it comes to firearms and ammo like Square has become.

I am a member of the NRA. Yes I agreed WHERE IS THE NRA in this case ???? They sure as hell bug me more than twice a month for money. If they would get their heads out of their A**, they would know what goes on. I think they are much like any other BIG BUSINESS , money is their bottom line. I don't mean to offend anyone thats in love with the NRA, But it just seems this way to me.

 

[fireblast2591]

I am a member of the NRA. Where is the NRA when issues like this are happening ??? All I ever hear from them is when they want MONEY. I think they have pretty much gone the way of other BIG BUSINESS and BIG GOVERNMENT. Its all about money, not how they can serve the people that keep them in their mansions. I have not done any research on it but I just wonder how nice of a home the BIG SHOTS at the NRA have. I hope no one says "Well I think they work hard and deserve it" line, thats LAME. Its people like you and me that work our butts off that are deserving. I hope not to offend anyone out there that LOVES the NRA but truly I am not impressed with them. It is us, the Americian Patriots of this GREAT COUNTRY that keep out guns and way of life from being washed away NOT the NRA.

I haven't renewed my NRA membership in two years and don't think I ever will. They have evolved into a monster with their tentacles reaching into our pockets. It's all about the money today, they aren't doing much to fight new gun laws, ask those living in New York.

 

[Bay Ranger]

You can say what you want about the NRA and their big money attitude, however, consider where we would be today if they didn't have the influence and clout that they do have. If they didn't have the financial resources that they do have to "buy the politicians we would now be living much stricter gun laws. If we can't "buy" the politicians, the Bloombergs, Soros, Brady backers, etc. certainly will.

Believe me, I don't like the constant begging for money either, however, if they don't have the bucks in the war chest we are eventually going to lose this war. That's simply the reality of today.

My PayAnywhere card reader arrived. Looks to be gigher quality than the Square. App loaded and account set-up... Now, someone needs to buy either my G30S or M&P Shield 9 and let me see if it works!

 

[DevilDog]

My account is setup with them as well, waiting on the card reader to arrive.

Goodbye Square ###### Hello Payanywhere,,, On order---Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Ryan]

seems like payanywhere is the new thing to use. I wish payanywhere would allow people to pay me online for jeep parts. I have been using Paypal but dislike using them because they are pro buyer. Had a girl buy a macbook air that I dropped(was dually noted) and then the new macbook air came out the week after she received it. She made a claim saying the laptop looked drop(says it plain text in the ad and has a picture) and paypal sided with her and when that happens you don't get refunded for the shipping. Still going to sign up and get the reader. Is anyone afraid of having a chargeback or anything?
