Pros

“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!”

Shawn H.

Lead Therapist, Owner

“It offers a debit card tied to the account, that allows me to have instant access to funds, and if I use the transfer option, it takes one day to reach my bank account, or instant for another fee.”

Chris L.

Operations

“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.”

Michael Z.

Owner

Pros

“It's very easy to use, produces a variety of reports, has a built in loyalty program for my customers, and prints professional looking sales receipts.”

Lori R.

CEO

“They also have a large library of how-to videos on YouTube if you have any questions or email them.”

Lori R.

CEO

“This is by far the best POS system I have used to date.”

Lori R.

CEO

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.”

Javier S.

Event planner

“We use the app and rely on the nearby wi-Fi, so if we do not get a good solid connection, we are unable to process payments.”

Jacqueline D.

Mission Coordinator

Cons

“Purchased this 8 years ago after looking at too many to mention POS systems that were either too expensive or didn't do what I needed it to do for my retail store.”

Lori R.

CEO

“Email setup was a bit challenging but support was slow in this regard.”

Sheila S.

CEO
