So you have to type in the CC number. I guess this would be good for phone orders. Additionally there is an extra 1% fee for processing creeps up quite fast.
@zlatty This is because it is considered a "Card Not Present" transaction. There is no way for the merchant to know that the customer possesses the physical card, so the card networks justify the higher processing fee by assuming a higher potential for fraud. While Square has primarily played in the local/physical realm, anyone doing e-commerce was already paying this higher rate.

@ethosventures That totally makes sense. Higher risk, higher processing cost. 👍
