We do a lot of work here at Mint Plugins to make eCommerce solutions for WordPress seamless and easy to use. But yesterday I was talking to an artist who is selling offline (face to face) using Square to sell their painting at Art Shows around their city. I was absolutely blown away at how great the process is using Square (note this isn’t a sponsored post).

They have considered everything from invoicing customers through email/text, to invoicing customers if they pay you in cash – which helps to keep your books and everything in one place.

If you sell products offline (in person), Square is an amazing option that allows you to swipe people’s credit cards using your Smart Phone. It doesn’t have a monthly fee – they just take a small cut of each purchase – like ANY credit card processor does.

If you sell on your website, unfortunately, Square doesn’t have an API at this point that we can use to truly keep all of our books and invoices in-sync across all platforms. I’m really hoping they open an API at some point though because it is super super slick. Check it out if you’re selling anything offline!
