Several years ago I began taking credit card payments using a "Square". The only downside was it would only work either with my Android phone or an iPad. Since I own both no problem other than it was much easier using the iPad (mini) for signatures and it was one more thing I had to take with me.
Last year I began tethering with a Surface Pro 2 then shortly afterwards upgraded to a SP3 and thus began carrying one more tool with me while on the road.
This morning I discovered that PayPal is now compatible with the SP3 and using a device similar to the Square one is now able to use it to accept credit cards. Since I've had a PayPal business account much longer than I've been using a Square I'm going to look into this and will report back. The user fees seems to be close to each other and I'm looking for a tool that I can use that I always carry with me (besides a phone) and since I use the SP3 to not only tether but for reading (off Amazon) it fits the bill.
First wake up, a couple cups of coffee then more research....
