Square for retail is great to use alongside WooCommerce to accept credit card payments on your e-commerce website.
Square for Retail works with a very easy to use card scanner that works with your phone, so it is great if you are selling items at an event like a conference, a farmers market, or an art fair. It is very easy and useful for the small business person who wants easy credit card processing either in person or online.
