I helped beta test the smartswipe software over 3 years ago. It is a Canadian company ;) At the time smart swipe was pretty cool, but I let the guy know I was trying to use it with my POS solution, oviously they took things one step further since out last conversation ;). Since I have a smart swipe already, its free for me to apply for Kudospayments. So I will give it a try.

The monthly fee is only $10 for me but I process about $10K a month so minimums dont apply. The cool thing about Payfirma is I also use them for my retail store and it's all the same account, so no multiple fees. The guy I deal with is Jeff and he's amazing. Ask for him if anyone calls there. I use Payfirma and they’re pretty good. The monthly fee is only $10 for me but I process about $10K a month so minimums dont apply.

People want American Square and that is obvious, not some half-asses Canadian copy that we always seem to get up here. We always get shafted and most times it is because of our anti-innovative/ risk-taking culture and slow government approval...the three big banks in this country controlling everything doesn't help either. Canadians want Square! What is taking so darn long?!?!?!! Please stop playing the nationalistic card.

The only difference I can see is the exorbitant sum they want for the opportunity to use their service. I sell at farmers markets and craft shows and would love this product but just can't afford it. Hopefully we will get some competition up here as that is the only way we will get lower prices. Checked out Payfirma’s site and they appear to be offering the same service as Square Up.

SQUARE is free. Perhaps a concerted effort must be made by these organizations who want our business to match the SQUARE deal. I won't sign up until they provide me with the device with which I will do business. Any device which is available in Canada — KUDOS or PAYFIRMA — has a fee of approximately $100 attached to it.
