Pros

“Square Point of Sale is highly effective for a music and content-based business that sells lessons or services, as it makes in-person and online payments simple and fast.”

Owner

“I can use it to check people out, keep people engaged and communicating, process payments professionally and easily and the website was a big bonus!”

“Square Point of Sale can feel limited when it comes to deeper customization and advanced business features, especially for more complex pricing structures or memberships.”

Owner

Pros

“It is a great product, very easy to use and I would say the only thing to be warned about is that if you want a lot of customisation on your website it would not necessarily be the right product.”
SS

Sasha S.

Food and Beverage Reservations Manager

“In short: If you or someone on your team is experienced with building and managing websites, then the extra cost of BentoBox isn't worth it. If you don't have deep technical skills, BentoBox will essentially fill that gap for you with their customer support, and is worth looking more into.”

“The Google Tag Manager, Analytics, and other built-in software integrations are very useful.”

Cons

“The setup process was confusing as it required an another app epically if you were using the lighting reader and a verification process, as well as linking your bank accounts and test transactions.”

Absana P.

Tier III Technician

“This situation caused real damage to my life. That $1,447 was reserved for something extremely important with a strict deadline attached to it. Because I did not receive the money in time, I am now facing serious financial consequences and problems with institutions that were expecting that payment.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Javier S.

Event planner

“The only issue that I have is the delivery option is unremovable. When you accept a payment, you have to go into the system and select delivered.”

Cons

“After over a month I was finally able to cancel my subscription but am still trying to receive refunds for charges incorrectly billed to me.”
