<html><body><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000"><DIV>There is a big difference. Intuit itself is certainly PCI certified, but Intuit also requires that the merchant be PCI certified because their POS system processes information locally and stores some information on the local computer before sending it to Intuit. With Square, the card data is encrypted as it is read and sent directly to Square for processing. The local iPad never sees customer information and the merchant does not need to be PCI certified. I'm not certain, but I think the card reader used by QuickBooks POS (and many others) reads the card information raw and sends it to the computer to be encrypted while the card reader for Square has built-in hardware encryption. <BR></DIV>

Intuit POS is PCI certified, (See: <A href="https://security.intuit.com/pci-dss.html" target=_blank>https://security.intuit.com/pci-dss.html</A>) and so is Square, so I\u2019m not sure why one would require a different level of PCI-DSS than the other. One thing I think is required is unique ID\u2019s for each user and Square charges $5 for each of those. Both use our network, so the appropriate level of security should be required of each, which includes :</SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style='FONT-FAMILY: "Arial",sans-serif; COLOR: black'>(I know it is April 1 but this is not an April Fool's prank.) I have been working to set up Square Register and have gone through almost all of the necessary setup. In many ways, I like it much better than QuickBooks POS and I was planning to implement it at Docks In. I have been testing sales using small amounts of money and that all worked fine, but yesterday I was caught off guard by what may be an important issue. It seems that Square sells things only in unit quantities - you can't sell a fraction of an item. This makes it difficult to sell 14.7 gallons of gas. We can easily sell in units of 1/10 of a gallon, 147 tenth gallons instead of 14.7 gallons, but this means the price per gallon would always be multiples of a dime (18 cents per tenth gallon would be $1.80 per gallon, 19 cents per tenth gallon would be $1.90 per gallon, etc. and you can't make a price with fractions of a penny). Another option, probably better, would be to sell the whole gallons at the desired price per gallon and enter any tenths as a separate item. Square says they are working on it, lots of businesses want to hook up a scale or sell in fractions of a pound, but for today a fraction of a unit is not a feature. </SPAN></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style='FONT-FAMILY: "Arial",sans-serif; COLOR: black'>I need some feedback - do you consider this to be a dealbreaker? QuickBooks POS is still fully functional. Rounding the price per gallon up or down a penny or two would not be a big deal, and we don't have so many fuel sales that entering two line items would be a huge hassle, but either way is less than optimal. Please let me know your thoughts.</SPAN></P></DIV>
