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!”
SH

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.”

“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.”

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.”
