[consulting] Taking payments sans snail mail

[Mark McIntosh]

Recently we found ourselves needing to take a credit card, while we have 
a merchant account it has hard limits at amounts we can accept without 
paying them more money so I tried the new square app https://squareup.com/

I took a $2500.00 payment on first use worked like a champ and the money 
in our account in two days. This is faster than our present provider and 
it was 2.75% which we felt was competitive.
