Square for Retail Reviews - Page 3

I love that I do not need any other applications to manage my payments and inventory. I have everything at my finger tips with this application.

I know some people complain about the service charges. 2.6% plus $.10 per transaction at the time of this review.

The thing that I liked most about this particular software is the fact that it makes it possible for you receive any form of payment no matter where you are. It's simply the epitome of convenience.

There were no cons with this particular software; and I can guarantee you that you would have an extremely hard time finding any as well.

Its very simple to use and train new employees on. Reports are easy to run and can get most data that you need. Allows you to communicate with customers. They are continuing evolving and adding new features.

Wish there was a way to take a deposit for future orders (placed online or on the phone) so the sales are applied to the date they are picked not the day we take the payment. For advance orders, available pick up times are based on your hours of operations. Wish we could limit that depending on what is being ordered.

It was easy to setup and start using when you need it. You connect it to your phone and use it as a normal POS you would in a store

Support isn't always easy to get a hold of and it wouldn't integrate it with our system. This is more for small business use and not for tracking and reporting on analytics.

Square for Retail adds a professional look to any small business. It helps raise the sales of your business while finding unique ways to reduce costs. It is a highly customizable app that can be tailored to the specific needs of your small business.

The only thing that I dislike is the processing fee payment structure that they offer. It is a bit higher than other platforms, but the convenience and ease-of-use of the platform makes it worth it.

We have used Square in our retail location for over 2 years now. We also utilize the system for mobile sales. We love being able to use one system for both. Square doesn't require extensive training and is self explanatory.

I would love to be able to text our customers to broadcast announcements, sales, etc. This is currently not an option which requires us to have additional third party software.

Square is great for small business it allows the merchant to just pay a fee when a card is swiped rather than a monthly service fee and the percentage charged for swiping a card. They do have an inventory tracking system which is great if that is the only platform you use for inventory. You also get the benefit of free hardware if you choose not to purchase the Square POS system. Square deposits are quick, no holding funds for long periods of time like PayPal. Overall Square is very versatile and we have been very happy with it.

The inventory tracking system is cumbersome and doesn't work nicely with QBO or Shopify. It cannot sync with our Shopify store which ultimately means we have to keep both platforms updated which is a real pain.

Super easy to use. Every kind of report that you can want is available.

I wish that the fee was a bit lower. The switch to a blue tooth card reader has been interesting. 1/10 times that I try and connect it takes extra time which is a pain if the customer is there waiting.

This feature is amazing, it takes a little time to set up, but time well invested. I no longer spend my days counting inventory, just look on the system and current count of all products right there.

cant say any cons here. We are a water sports concession. Offering hats, sunscreen, phone dry bags etc

Inexpensive to buy! Swipers are free and chip readers are only 49.00. Square is easy to use in store or out of store. Processing fees are the lowest I've found anywhere.

Make sure you use a tablet thats fast. Don't buy a cheap tablet of 30.00. pay upward of 75.00 other wise its very slow.

Cost and set up were both affordable and easy, plus transactions were never an issue on any device or credit card. The processing fees were very reasonable for our use. The reporting features were very straight forward to implement in our CMS tools.

Nothing!!! Could not find an issue if we wanted to, the hardware and software worked flawlessly.

I was able to have my website up and running within a day after the design team I hired to build my site were unable to deliver it in over a month's time. Once you have input your products to sell it is a seamless process to get them onto your own website with Weebly.

There is a bit of redundancy when adding new products, but not too bad. Especially once you get the hang of it.

Easy to implement and can use on multiple devices. Can also accept multiple forms of payment and not restrict clients to only paying cash.

Occasionally have difficulty getting software to connect with internet to process cards and the chip/contactless reader will sometimes not want to connect to the device.

I love that it's so easy to send invoices in just a second! It keeps track of your clients names and client info, services, invoices etc which is such a timesaver! I can look st a glance and know what invoices have been paid and which ones need to send again.

I would love there to be a way to enter services in so you don't have to type it in each time when making an invoice.

We love the ease of use for both us and the client. We used to have to wait for payment via check and sometimes we'd have to follow up with clients for months without getting paid. Now when our technicians are wrapped up in the field.. they have the client pay instantly using their mobile phones with card reader. No more waiting for payments!

Square is a great software and clients trust it. There is nothing that is negative about Square. Love it.

The software is user friendly, quick and easy. I love their simple and straight forward layout. They literally contributed to my business growing!!!!

I can't think of any negative thing to say, except at the beginning I had some problems that turned out to do with poor internet connection.

It is easy to set up and use. It is affordable and the customers never have a problem with it.

I wish they took bitcoin and the square terminal has quite a few quirks that should be worked out before charging that much.

One of the easiest payment services I've used in the past few years. Its portable and easy to use and most customers like how fast and easy it is.

I haven't found any issues with the software or the program. Occasionally run into customers who aren't comfortable with using it.

The FREE software and low cost processing fees are GREAT. Money gets deposited FAST and deposited by 1am the next business day. No wait. No hassel.

Customer Service of you need to actually talk to a human is very lacking. They want to communicate by email and as a business some times you need a human right away.

I liked the interface of the software. Very user friendly and easy to do transactions with. I also have used the manual entry multiple times with no problem.

I would say the only thing I dislike is the extra charge for instant deposit, that's it. Nothing else stands out to me.

Easy to use! Functional! Minimal time to receive critical business information. Ability to pull up current sales is just seconds behind the transactions at the retail location! Very impressive!

The steps that are showing up at the top of my feed for Square retail. Mobile app is par, much better to use desktop version. iPad and iPhone software make some features inaccessible.

The software is very user friendly. It is excellent for first time users to easily run when starting a small retail store.

I have not found a function that I do not like. There are many areas to explore.

This software provides the best tools for managing sales on a small scale. It is fast, easy to use,and full featured.

Honestly, this is one of the least expensive options out there but it would be nice to not lose the service charges from our income.
