Easy to use anywhere, any time. Payments post to my bank account quickly, and I love the instant deposit feature which allows for instant deposits of transactions over $50 into your bank account for an additional 1% fee.

Cons

I wish the iphone app hosted the Dashboard features so I didn't have to login online to access instant deposit and other specific information.

Ability to run valuable reports for business.

The square app takes a minute or two to secure a internet/wifi connection while some of the delay in connection is the internet carrier but some of the problem is the app doesnt always use the phones hotspot nor the data

Pros

The user interface is great, and I've had no problems with any transactions.

Cons

The only nitpick regarding square is maybe the pricing. It would be nice if the rates or the per transaction fee were lower, but I feel they are competitive.

Pros

Their fees are fair and consistent. The mobile payment processing is a breeze and the chip reader works every time.

Cons

Like I even need customer Service for major issues which rarely occur, but it is difficult to speak to someone when you need them most. Access to live Support would be a great peace of mind addition.

Pros

Super easy to use, never a funding issue, low and consistent merchant service costs, customizable for your products or services.

Cons

The one time we contacted customer service, they were less than friendly or helpful. Fortunately, it's only been once that we've needed to call. On an iPad, the chip reader stops working if an update is needed.

Pros

Can set up monthly recurring payments with stored cards.

Cons

I guess the only gripe I can come up with is to use an iPad it works best with a square stand. I found it for the same price at best buy to get some rewards. The software is flawless in my eyes.
