Pros

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

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.”

Owner

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

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

Cons

“In the last few years though, their customer support has disappeared and they don't seem to be upgrading anything.”
