Sephora single-point-of-sale done wirelessly, using an iPhone.

My Anastasia Brow products (fav!) needed a refresh, so I took a power-walk up to the Sephora store on 57th and Lexington today. I did a little shopping and one of the sales reps came over asking if I needed any help.  I let her know I was okay (I know my way around a Sephora store!), so she asked if I was by chance ready to check out –I was.  Expecting she would ask me to walk over to the register, I was surprised when she pulled out her iPhone to check me out!

Now your iPhone can accept Amex, or other credit cards, with Square!

The iPhone is now credit card compatible.  A company by the name of Square has designed a credit card reader that plugs into the headphone jack, enabling you to accept credit cards and debit cards on the fly.  Square then transfers daily deposit to your bank account.
