Easy to set up, reliable, and with the features I need in my business!

I set up Square after researching other options when I launched my business 4 years ago, and have been pleased with the choice ever since. I have considered other options since then but keep sticking with Square since they truly have what I need, and the time cost of switching has never been worth it to me.

PROS

The most important aspect of Square Point of Sale is the ability to set up monthly, quarterly, and annual recurring invoices. Its shocking other solutions don't offer this, or only offer it at VERY high levels of monthly investment. This is a user-friendly solution for my business and is easy to understand, set up, and get rolling right "out of the box."

CONS

The address book makes it a bit tough to set up the clients as a business, it's a bit more geared to selling to consumers. But I've been able to create a workaround to make it work for me (business name in one of the name fields). I also really would like to integrate Square better with QuickBooks but I think QB is the problem - QB is notoriously difficult to work with (VERY difficult!).

Reason for choosing Square Point of Sale

Primarily I chose Square because of its easy interface, quick time to launch, address book set up, but mainly because of recurring invoice functionality.

Square point at a glance

I have had a good experience with this product so far.

PROS

Ease of use, cheap. Can setup quite readily. Service and support is OK.

CONS

Security functions seem OK, but hopefully they continue to upgrade and work on it. The actual devices need to be a bit more sturdy.

Free product but not so easy to use

I didn't like it, nor could I figure out how to use it

PROS

It was free and did not cost me anything.

CONS

But I could not figure out how to use it and I eventually gave up and gave it away

Satisfied Customer very user friendly and up to date

over all i think its a great product and we realistically dont have any complaints.

PROS

I love that it is again very user friendly and the processing fees are low and the processing speed is fast.

CONS

I dont like that you cant go back and look at a last name from the card used in processing of a payment u would have to go on line and do 4 different steps if you needed to clarify an error .

Reason for choosing Square Point of Sale

better pricing and seemingly better technology
