The Square Stand

For a while, Square merchants had to use some sort of third party stand or even no stand at all to hold their iPad for customers. Stands are great because they secure your iPad to a table. For those who don't know, Square is a service created by a co-founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey. It allows anybody to have their own cash register and accept credit cards. For just 2.75% per swipe (or $275 a month at a fixed rate; your choice), you can accept credit cards. Now, there's the Square Stand. An official stand for the iPad. It secures to a counter and has an integrated card reader (as oppose to a card reader that is inserted through the headphone jack). It sells for $299 alone and can be bought in a bundle with a receipt printer, cash drawer, and barcode scanner.
