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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Michael Z.

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!”

Shawn H.

Lead Therapist, Owner

“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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Michael Z.

Owner

Pros

“Advanced customization can require technical expertise, and the selection of themes, extensions, and third-party integrations is more limited than larger commercial platforms.”
VA

Vighnesh A.

Business Partner

“I also appreciate the flexibility to customize it based on business needs and maintain full control over customer data.”
AD

Arkajit D.

CTO

“The main reason we went with it is that it's open source, so we could tweak a few things to fit how we work without hiring a developer for every little change.”
GS

Gurkirat S.

Fullstack Developer

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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Justin W.

Owner Operator

Cons

“Customer support is also more limited than what you'd get from fully managed commercial solutions.”
AD

Arkajit D.

CTO

“There is sometimes a caching issue if we change the javascript but it doesn't immediately appear in the browser.”
CS

Chirag S.

Sr. Software Engineer

“Certain customization options can be challenging to configure without technical expertise or developer support”
