Yes, but it comes with fees. 2.6% + $.10

So if someone gives you $10, you get $9.64

That’s for everyone, though, not just the homeless. I use Square as one of my payment methods when I run booths at fairs and markets.

I assumed there was ones that aren’t free that didn’t charge you a fee, that’s what my statement was based on.

Agreed. A flat fee for using their service, I can see, ‘cause they’re in it to make money, not be a charity, but the fee plus taking a cut of the sale? Unfortunately, they ALL do it. And half of them are just PayPal in disguise.
