I'm gonna be a vendor at my first gig as a commission artist and I'm trying to get something set up so I can accept credit cards as a form of payment, but I need to know some things.
I have a Square Reader, but no Square account linked to my bank account. But I do have a PayPal linked to my bank account. My question is if one is better than the other for? I need to know if I should link a Square account to my bank account or if I should just shell out the $10 and get the PayPal Here credit card reader instead. I've Googled a little bit but I really can't make heads or tails of this because of all the technical talk. I've always been kinda bad with money. Can someone give me some insight in dumbed-down English?

*My question is if one is better than the other? If so, why?
Going out for birthday lunch for my mom but thanks in advance for any insightful replies.
bump?
Alright so paypal's reader will cost you 27 cents for every 10 dollars you sell if you swipe the card, if you enter it manually it's 35 cents + (0.15 * N) per every 10 dollars.
Square is 27.5 cents for every 10 dollars you sell if you swipe the card and entered manually it's the same as paypal's.
Paypal is marginally cheaper which if you ran a lot of money it would matter but at that point using a regular credit card system would be better.

So theoretically I can just use the PayPal Here app and not need a card reader at all, just pay a little extra and type in the numbers from the credit card?
