Comment on Nerding out big time 3: Making villains come to life by The Rig: Phase Zero

[...] The shoot went well… and instead of turning the camera into a rental, I decided it was high god damned time I started shooting video with a DSLR. I’ve got a Sony HDR-SR7 that a friend and I pitched in to buy ages ago. It’s a good little workhorse, but it can’t scratch the surface of what modern DSLRs can do. My first video project with the A35 was the Nerding Out 3 video. [...]

Has anyone used Kudos?
I’ve signed up for a reader, but there’s no info on what will happen when chip and pin is mandated – whether or not they’ll change their readers.
It also says you need to have a merchant account – so while there are no monthly fees for the reader, it’s not clear as to whether they charge you for this elusive merchant account.

I’d love to know what others are doing. We are using paypal and manually typing things in .. which can be a real pain and slow us down.

Well, It is now almost November 2011. Still no change:

a) all major banks in Canada charge HUGE Fees.
b) Square IS NOT Available in Canada
C) Credit Unions offer the actual hardware for FREE, with 1.58% fees, and a five year contract.

The last one sound good??? WRONG! They also require you to open a business account with them, which will charge you an additional 1.50% per month.
Want out of your contract? Cough up $300! Oh, and a minimum balance of $1000

Payfirma (www.payfirma.com/iphone) offers the exact same solution as Square but they are Canadian and their rates are better. The company is located in Vancouver and is a start-up founded by payment experts from the old verspay.
