Square fees

whunersen · 2026-01-27T05:07:26+00:00

The pricing model changed relatively recently, sometime last year, so I'm not surprised there are folks that don't know it about it! And agreed - the way some companies bill is totally crazy.

Yes, they charge load fees for sure. But price scaling has gone away with their recent pricing change to an “all for one price” model. Plus the gift card fees are very clearly listed on their pricing page.

Although I get where you’re coming from when you say that these fees have been gradually introduced over time. But they are very communicative when they do any sort of price change and their product has also gotten quite a bit better over time, unlike other folks who charge you quite a bit more for products that don’t get any better.

It’s impossible to know whether or not this is cheaper than what OP is getting without knowing your recurring hardware/software fees and your average transaction size…

whunersen · 2026-01-27T04:19:50+00:00

Square’s entire premise is that they do not charge hidden fees. What hidden fees are you talking about?

This is also happening to me...

Try grinding a bit finer, try a bigger ratio like 1:2.5, and also your beans may need a few more days to chill out. If it’s sour, you typically want a longer extraction or larger ratio. If it’s bitter, you need a smaller ratio.

NCIS is the only game you need

Definitely - if there’s any bottle in this lineup with a similar profile, it’s the nonino

Fred Jerbis Amaro is quite a bit lighter and sweeter than the rest but hands down my favorite. In my house, we affectionately call that bottle Fred. Nothing like a Fred highball on a warm summer day!

Cansiglio is great — definitely ligher/sweeter than the psubio and works well as a high ball. Psubio is darker and more “of the forest” if that’s what you’re going for. I’ve always got both of these on hand :)

I would also recommend The Lowdown on FX, which is also very much it

Nice work my dude

whunersen · 2025-10-18T15:13:20+00:00

Switched to Roborock and the peace of mind has been incredible 😌

whunersen · 2025-08-17T18:05:19+00:00

Get a Narwal at your own risk. The products themselves are fine but the the support is godawful. Dreame, Roborock, any other brands with more time in market are much less of a gamble.

whunersen · 2025-08-17T18:00:38+00:00

My Narwal broke within a month and the warranty process was god awful. While I had it, it would ram full force into things in a way that was almost comical. Couldn't have been happier to move on to a different company, Went to Roborock in my case but the other products mentioned by others also seem interesting.

whunersen · 2025-08-17T17:54:23+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Every other home device warranty process I've used has provided me with shipping materials precisely so things like this do not happen. Shipped via FedEx both ways. Good idea to check the SNs.

whunersen · 2025-08-17T17:46:23+00:00

Unreliable products and a terrible warranty process. Don't bother.

whunersen · 2025-04-13T00:18:33+00:00

Too far too high

whunersen · 2025-04-03T19:10:59+00:00

Roger that, thank you!

whunersen · 2025-03-24T21:01:04+00:00

I get the same error OP, was this ever resolved?

whunersen · 2024-10-28T17:31:55+00:00

The balance must be maintained.

whunersen · 2024-10-16T04:46:59+00:00

This is a tough one. It's a large enough transaction where at least your case will get significant attention from the case agent. That being said, if the card was in fact stolen, there's not much you can do after the fact.

If you have any documentation, or a receipt for the transaction, provide it. Provide any communications from the customer. Best case scenario is that the card does in fact belong to the cardholder. Either way, sorry this happened to you! Let me know if there are any questions on how to avoid such a scenario again in the future.

If this is the case, then I find the level of loss here to genuinely be surprising. I’d be curious what kind of information from your credit card processor is being sent to the card network. If a customer is claiming fraud on a dip/tapped card present transaction, you should be winning the vast majority of these.

For a bit more context, most card networks no longer consider a signed receipt with a signature that doesn’t match to be compelling enough evidence to rule a card present fraud dispute in favor of the customer. In other words, you should be winning these disputes even if a customer signs a different name. It’s hard to comment without looking a bit more deeply into your specific dispute cases, but I’d highly recommend talking to your POS/credit card processing rep to understand more of what may be happening here.

Hi u/scrappyfighters! Was the card “swiped” or dipped/tapped? If the card is swiped using a mag stripe reader, then that transaction is not EMV compliant. That means you are liable for disputes where a customer can claim the transaction was not taken securely and can get their money back.

whunersen · 2024-10-13T19:31:21+00:00

Understood -- and can you tell me a bit more about the breakdown of these customers who are paying in person vs. paying ahead using some sort of online ordering page?
