Square or Paypal here on Nexus tab?

[racermech]

Is anyone using Square or paypal here with success on the nexus? I am setting up a business and want a tablet to help run it but I have no desire to go with an ipad or be stuck using my phone for everything.

Paypal works fine, no idea about Square.

I use paypal just fine, I don't know about square though.

Are you just meaning the website/app or do you guys also use this? https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/credit-card-reader

Here is square https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...=https%3A%2F%2Fsquareup.com%2F&token=UXBqa4_k

I use both but neither are supported yet on the Nexus 7. The card readers don't seem to work at all, sadly. But you can side load the apk for both and enter card info manually, if that helps.

I'm peeved that both have yet to update their app and/or reader to support the Nexus 7 so I'm considering going with another mobile payment option that does...

Damn neither one is supported....

for square it's a hardware problem with the headphone jack not supporting a microphone input that the card reader needs to work. so it will never work with this version of the nexus 7.

You can side load it.

What about entering the number manually?

If you side load the app you can enter The cards manually but it costs you more per transaction and takes much longer per transaction.

I was rather upset when I learned about this a while back, as using Square was one of the functions I wanted the N7 for. I had loaded the Square app on my N7, and it would even act like it recognized the card reader when I plugged it in, but as mentioned, there's no microphone support on the headphone jack, so it won't actually work. Entering the numbers manually should work, but at a higher transaction cost and effort, which just seems silly to bother with.

Yeah these Nexus 7tablets have been a big letdown they dont function with any good ecommerce apps, the only thing I use it for is an alarm clock. The Nexus 7 sucks and it is all because Google had Asus cripple its performance on purpose. Too bad they dont have a card readter that plugs into a usb port then you would just need a gtg cable
