    Pros
    The super cheap and easy to use interface is awesome. Being able to carry a card reader at all times has improved the way I take deposits for gear rentals.
    The compactness of it was definitely appreciated and it was nice to have one, easy to find location for all the important statistics.
    The ease of use, the sleek feel, great customer service and great rates. I trust Square with my business and so should you.
    Cons
    I had to sit with my bank to file a dispute with Square, put a hold on all charges by Square, and start using an entirely different payment processor just to avoid Square stealing my money.
    A client purchased multiple packages totally thousands of dollars from my company, received the services, and then disputed the charges as 'unrecognized. I provided the following to square.
    Square permits fraudulent chargebacks against your company.
