I’ve also learned that if you’re at an event and they don’t have wifi, you can still take credit/debit payments in the “offline” mode in Square and they will process the next time you do have wifi. 👍🏻

You are very knowledgeable and have a lot of energy and it shows you love what you do. My one suggestion is to SLOW DOWN A LITTLE. Its hard to follow you without have to replay over and over again. Don't lose the excitement but slow down when it comes to the step by step explanation. Thank you.

Thank you, I’ll be a first time Square user at my very first show this week so super helpful.

[tpeschke]

I have had so many questions about starting my crochet business. Thank you for these videos, Camryn! They have helped me so much. About five minutes after watching this video, I downloaded the Square app and started exploring.

[richardt]

[pavanmanikanta]

Straight to the point with no bullshit! Love it..

This is an awesome video. My first show is next Saturday. I ordered my free square reader last night. Your tips for the more settings and customization really helped.

[jameshc.]

Very very informative. Your energy level is through the roof. You actually made me smile. Thanks for educating us.

Camryn, you are such a life-saver!
I have my very first market coming up on May 4th, and I feel so prepared and ready to launch! Nervous, but prepared.

Thanks to you, I have brought my brand to life before my own eyes like magic.

I just signed up for square and my card reader will be here soon so I can play around in the app.

I can never ever thank you enough for your guidance!

I could not find ANY videos about inventory, so thank you. This was insanely helpful

[JenniferSmith-mfxr]

Thank you for all the helpful info! I’ll definitely be using it for inventory tracking this year. Thanks to you I also learned I can set up a website through square so now everything will work together!

[owendreaprescod]

Hi Camryn…I would love to see you do a video on how to find and sign up for markets. That had seriously been my biggest challenge! Thank you!

[Lislopez]

Girl this video is too good and superrr informative, a big thank you! ❤

[WindfallDreams]

This is so helpful, I'm finally entering my market era, so I may need to check this out!! Where I'm from, the sales tax is 11.5%, but because of an artisan license, I'm not required to charge it. I gotta work with all that.
