Square Virtual Terminal overview

What is Square Virtual Terminal?

Square Virtual Terminal is a cloud-based software that helps businesses process and accept payments from multiple payment methods including cash, checks, gift cards and more. Managers can charge payments to customers' credit or debit cards and maintain a record of all payments in the database for future reference.

Square Virtual Terminal provides a dashboard, which enables supervisors to gain an overview of payment types, trending items, received feedback, and offered gift cards. Administrators can download and analyze records using Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and export transaction data to various third-party accounting applications including QuickBooks. It also lets users synchronize information with other in-house Square products, such as Square Point of Sale, Square Invoices, and more.

Square Virtual Terminal enables businesses to secure confidential data, preventing unauthorized data exploitation. Managers can also store customer information in a centralized repository and utilize various business intelligence (BI) tools to generate sales reports.

The integration of Square to QuickBooks is super important. It records all transactions into our booking saving us time and chance of human error
