iansmommaya Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I use square because Etsy changed to square, but Square did a hinky thing a while ago and now I'm looking for something else. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/3dmy38/witches-are-being-kicked-off-of-square-for-selling-occult-items This would cover me 100%. Does anyone use a different app for processing CC at sales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 PayPal has a reader. Can you just use different nomenclature to describe your wares? Square is so darned convenient and well recognized by patrons. They feel secure when you use it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansmommaya Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 I'm trying to get a paypal reader, they've turned me down for a business one, I don't know why, so I'm looking at buying one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponiebr Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Excerpt from the article:"When I read 'occult,' I think, OK, they don't want me to sell unbaptized baby blood or like, they don't want me to say, 'Buy this chicken and I'll sacrifice it for you,'" Katie said. "I get that and maybe you shouldn't sell that on the internet anyway." Yeah, MAYBE baby blood might not be the best thing to sell on the internet... I mean at LEAST not on the OPEN web. Darknet, sure. You can get anything on unlisted services. Still, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot on banning any sort of craft items? Chargebacks? Really!? Uh, no... Makes no sense to me at all. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebleo Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Wow! I recently added some products to my Facebook page and 3 products were flagged. The scents absinthe, exotic hemp, and flowering cannabis. When I first saw it I figured because they had cannabis or alcohol in the description and I was ready to try and reword them. Nope. They were flagged because it appears I was advertising a dating service! How do I even fix that?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone use a different app for processing CC at sales? Have you tried contacting Square about this? Maybe if you describe what it is you are selling they may allow it. I can't see how selling crystals and rocks can be considered taboo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 OMG are we back to the Puritan times? Are Pilgrims online and flagging this stuff??? Halloween is my favorite holiday. I'd probably be kicked off for peddling devilish red candles and Jack O'Lantern candle holders and witch's besoms (aka cinnamon brooms). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Sorry, that just plain ol sucks! Nothing wrong with crystals. I'd be calling them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Yeah, I'd call them too. That's a bit ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
