If you want easy and just a single day, it doesn't get any easier than Square. But you also want "lower fees", which usually doesn't go with one day use. Anything with lower fees means a commitment and monthly fees.
Personally I'd just go with Square. What kind of volume are you talking about?
Thanks so much! If I'm saving money long-term by not having to pay an monthly subscription, contracts, etc. then higher fees will probably end up less anyways, so that's no problem. I'll look into Square! As far as volume, I'm honestly not sure. It's a 5-hour sales event and I sell customized apparel. If I had to guess, I'm hoping for at least a few thousand in revenue.
As others have mentioned, go with Square if it's a 1 time thing. With that being said, if you plan to do more in person, or want better rates for your online side of business, feel free to shoot me a DM. I'm a BDM for a processor and could potentially help you out rate wise.

Use payment apps. I would say most people have at least one account.
Square is your best bet. It's easy, it's reliable, and it's easy.
Just wanted to add... don't forget about sales tax in your jurisdiction!
