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

“We signed up with Epos Now Payment Services (Account [sensitive content hidden]) on a 12-month agreement, based on a quoted 0.55% card processing rate during the sales process.”

Steve S.

Coffee Shop

“You need a WiFi signal for the card reader and to log on and close the till.”

Kathryn P.

Owner

“I like that I can add employees or delete employees with ease. And each employee has their own security pin so there is no having to change the whole system.”

Tabitha D.

Manager

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

“We therefore can’t access our emails and place orders which are essential day to day business tasks that our previous hardware was capable with. Despite asking for a return for the hardware we’ve been advised by customer service they won’t accept it back.”

Hazel L.

Business owner

“I closed my account in their till back office on the last day of the agreement, but they still charged me for the upcoming month. When I called their support to complain, they claimed I never sent them any notice to terminate my agreement, even though I had forwarded the email I sent to them over a month before and had also sent a letter via special delivery which they did confirm they had received. ”

Godwin A.

Director

“The hardware that we are using and purchased from EposNow is starting to fail and despite paying support they advised they no longer support this hardware and sold us a replacement monitor.”

Hazel L.
