Pros

“The integration with other Square services helps streamline business operations and saves time. Although processing fees and some premium feature limitations can be drawbacks, it's a reliable and efficient invoicing solution for small businesses and freelancers.”
KL

“Creating and customizing professional estimates or invoices takes just a few clicks, and the ability to automatically convert approved estimates into active invoices saves a massive amount of administrative time.”
SS

Samantha S.

Director of Operations

“The standard per-transaction percentage—especially for manual card-entry or card-on-file payments—is noticeably higher than traditional merchant accounts, and there is no cap on processing fees for large invoice amounts.”
