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

“But there’s not so many options to organize the inventory or change settings for discounts and taxes, so sometimes we need to find workarounds or do it manually after the day.”

Robert F.

Sales Representative

“We (our team) may need to explore this function as we might be missing something, but it feels like this process could be streamlined as adding customer details when you have a queue of customers feels like it takes perhaps a little longer than is comfortable for customers.”

Elizabeth W.

Finance team

“We also like that you can record cash sales too, not just card sales, giving you a complete picture.”

Elizabeth W.

Finance team

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

“A customer database was only recently added and it is very simple without good reports, and without the ability to upload existing customer information.”

Gina W.

Owner

“It has been way too long that my legitimate business has not been able to withdraw MY money, or process credit card payments from my customers.”

Gina W.

Owner

“As of today, after many calls, the still have not fixed the issue so I feel I was lured in by promise of a working capital loan if I met certain requirements, then I did everything right and boom, bait and switch, no loan for zettle users.”
