Pros

“Integrations with WordPress websites have been fairly straight forward, but creating a registration process for events has been a weak spot and challenging.”

David V.

Lead Developer

“Even with those limitations, Square for Retail delivers a clean, efficient, and dependable experience for managing in‑store sales.”

Anthony R.

Web Developer

“Managing the back end, running real‑time sales, and processing payments all feel smooth and intuitive.”

Anthony R.

Web Developer

Pros

“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

“As a result, we were left to manage the situation independently and, in order to continue trading at a basic level, we were required to place our card readers into standalone mode.”

Jack V.

IT Support

“Overnight, it appeared that a significant number of customers, including our own business, were effectively required to use EposNow hardware in order to continue processing card payments.”

Jack V.

IT Support

Cons

“Immediately after this transaction, Square closed my account and informed me that I would have to wait 90 days to receive the funds — with no way to expedite or reroute payment despite the urgent cash-flow implications for my business. Because these funds are tied up until February, my business is facing serious difficulty covering payroll and operating expenses.”

Amy S.

Owner

“It’s very hard to get in touch with someone, and when you do, they weren’t much help in my opinion.”

Caitlyn M.

Buyer

“It was so easy to set up that I thought I was doing something wrong.”

Jabbara P.

Owner

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.”
