Square looks like it is for accepting card in person, not on-line.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

We do it over the phone with no card all the time, but I'm not sure about through a website.

I checked Square's site and they have a grid which specifically shows that you can't accept credit cards on-line with them.

That's too bad because they are otherwise excellent.

Yeah, Square is great. What about Intuit's credit card processing?

Intuit offer a merchant account I think - one with one of the lowest terminal fees I've seen, but still a merchant account. I queried Wepay and they told me they have stopped using "contact the customer" as a way to verify charges. Which I guess is good. It worries me a bit that they used to do this. On the other hand, they actually answered my question.

So now I'm thinking WePay for on-line, and Square for in person.

Costco is supposed to have low merchant fees.

I have something I want to do that may or may not be a business or a book or both. I have a fascination with kudzu, both as metaphor and invasive plant. There hasn't been a decent book on kudzu since the 70s and that was more a hippy-dippy book on eating and crafting with kudzu. I have thought about pitching it as a book, but I'm not sure that's the best approach today. What I am pondering is a blog and/or Tumblr in which I collect research on kudzu and write various articles about it. My goal would be a book and becoming the person people call when they want a quote about kudzu.
I own the url kudzuthebook.com, but I don't think that exactly covers this first phase. What are your feelings about ProjectKudzu.com, KudzuProject.com or LikeKudzu.com?
I hate to open up the question of whether I am crazy, but is this a workable concept? Should I also pose the question in the writing thread?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I would be all over that. Umm. Like Kudzu. (which is also incidentally my name vote.)
