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

“Overall, my experience with Square for Retail has been overwhelmingly positive for getting our physical store up and running without technical headaches or massive upfront costs.”
SS

Samantha S.

Admin

“I also appreciate the convenience of being able to take payments using my cell phone as well as by email.”
DS

Danielle S.

Owner

Pros

“Any software platform that services retail establishment needs to have life support available over the weekend and on holidays are the busiest time of year for businesses.”
KR

Kathie R.

Owner

“Merchants can easily enter inventory and price the inventory including printing a barcodes label. ”

“Ricochet is a product that seems to last end user testing or business analysis when developing.”

Cons

“The flat-rate processing fees and monthly add-ons for essential tools like advanced marketing and loyalty programs begin to eat into tight margins, and hitting a wall with automated customer service during technical glitches can be frustrating.”
SS

Samantha S.

Admin

“Square for Retail becomes increasingly expensive as your business grows, as flat-rate processing fees can eat heavily into margins for high-volume stores compared to traditional interchange-plus processors.”
SS

Samantha S.

Admin

“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.”
AS

Amy S.

Owner

Cons

“The system was designed to enable a resemblance of online sales but the system fails to send notification of the sale with customer information to the merchant.”
