Couldn't do without Square

Overall I really can not complain as it provides a simple to use, valuable tool for both small and larger businesses alike

Pros

As a small business owner Square is a fabulous tool to be able to take credit card payments, create invoices, and so much more. I honestly don't know what I'd do without it.

Cons

Sometimes, especially when using the desktop (I'm primarily on the app on my phone) it's harder to find things as it doesn't seem to be set up quite the same as the app.

Square was just the better choice overall. I know many banks could offer a lower fee but having everything at my fingertips is very much worth it.

Square has potential to be great

Square POS is actually a little complex to build out of you dont have a background in software or IT. For our coffee shops we use alot of modifiers and variations, so it is difficult to sink up the modifiers with the optons if you are building out for the first time. If you are a business without the modifiers it will be much easier.

Pros

Square POS does exactly what any POS system should do. You upload your items for sale, and you can take payments on your phone, your square reader, or ipad.

Cons

Square Outages are the absolute worst and they are more frequent than anything. they have put my business at a stand still at least once per quarter. We have had to switch to "off line" mode which also wasnt working. We are a coffee shop and most of our sales are from 7am-9am. We have lost so much money from the outages and good luck getting anyone from customer service. It's non-existent. PLUS the fees you pay are astronomical.

Reasons for Switching to Square Point of Sale

We chose square because we use apple products and didnt want to have to buy new hardware. In hindsight we probably have lost more money in outages than new hardward would have cost us. We also now have all of our data from the last few years in Square so its hard to switch.

Square, the best app for sales!

My overall experience has been great! I can write up an invoice in minutes with my saved items and I can collect a deposit in seconds with tap to pay or via emailing the customer. It’s a very easy process for the customer to pay when sent via email. I can schedule out when the final payment is due for a repair and it’s saved in their system if I ever need to look back at the invoice.

Pros

That you can use tap to pay, and the processing fees are fair.

Cons

There’s not much to dislike about square. Sometimes invoicing won’t have your description saved, but doesn’t happen often.
