Great on the integration and operation side, slow on the customer service side.

It was super to be able to accept credit and debit cards quickly and easily.

Sometimes the system will lag when talking to other programs.

Robust payment processor with a slow customer service response time.

Integrates well with Shopify and can result in lower transaction fees. Lots of options for customization and fine tuning.

It is quick and easy to take payments. I love that it syncs with QuickBooks and Invoice ASAP and I can see who has paid and when.

Different languages to help people that are limited.

Pulling up past transactions is very easy as well which is super helpful when there are questions on charges.

Its great way for our service techs to collect over the phone. I also like how easy it is to find past transactions; you will never lose track of payments.

Everything was clear on how to set up the software and anything that I did not understand the support team helped me with.

Overall good experience, they're responsive if you have any questions or need anything.

When printers mess up it's sometimes a pain to track down a receipt to print it for the customer once the window has been closed.

Excellent customer service but may not be for a micro business.

I like that the payment platform has so many options. First Data has it software on so many payment platforms you wouldn't believe it unless you have seen.

This software is userfriendly and easy to navigate. Use this daily to locate charges.

This software was easy to use an implement. Customer support to get set up was quick, accessible and straightforward.

We have been using this platform for almost a year now. We don't process a lot of credit card payments so our volume is low but when we do it is very easy to use and administer.

You also can't delete someone from a recurring payment plan or change the date of their payment. Finally, there are no automatic receipts for donations.

This is a great solution to a previous credit card processing option that was being utilized.

This is extremely easy to use as all it requires is an internet shortcut on the desktop.

Overall I like Fiserv's system that we are using. I think it has a lot of great  features and the navigation and easy of use are great.

Easy point of sale, works in conjunction with bank of america account and funds daily. Fees are similar to other credit card processors.

We use this for our smaller customers to pay PO's with. Very simple website, basic and easy to use.

I like Payeezy because it allows you to be paid easily. Rarely are there issues with cards being declined.

It is consistent in the way it works and the information is presented across modules. They do provide pretty good customer service.

It's also a hassle when a password is forgotten as only an administrator can reset a user's password.

I love being able to offer my customers the option of paying me with an emailed link. Many people do not like to give out their cc information and this is a great option for a direct sales business.

Great - love their customer service, they quickly send out new square devices and have always felt the transactions are safe and protected.

Best of all, payments to your account are very quick, with a fantastic option for instant transfer.

It was easy to use, the interface was nice, and setting up recurring payments (with automatic notices) was great.

I love the ease of use of this. It makes it easy to take payment from customers from the comfort of their vehicles.

It is also widely used across many small businesses, so clients are more comfortable to see it when I am collecting payments. The customer services is also top notch and very responsive.

The Data and reporting that is available is amazing. You can see everything about your business in order to make great business decisions.

I was just a beginner when it comes to processing credit cards. But, this was super easy to integrate.

Since then Square has gotten better and better. I generally have money in my account the next business day and if I agree to an additional 1% I can have it immediately.

It's great that there are a lot of possible integrations with other software. It is an amazing tool for small businesses.

I love how simple square is to use. The user interface is super simple in the app, and has great features for seeing trends, busy periods, etc. I have been so pleased.

I love that I can do events out of the office and take payments for those services. It has made those events so much better and more effective.

I love that I can accept payments almost anywhere at anytime. The ease of use is top notch and it is always reliable.

The only downside to the Square software was the lack of Wi-Fi compatibility and the short distance the square had with Wi-Fi as it frequently was reconnecting.

Had to stop using as Clients disliked the extra charge on their account. We would have them use this  to pay with credit cards on their accounts.

They were my first choice in the beginning, but after the 2 disputes and how bad they handled them, I went back to PayPal.

Fantastic ease of use, amazing functionality, user friendly, this is the easiest and best payment processor i've ever used.

We appreciate how easy Square integrates with IPad, we utilize our IPad with Square as our Credit Card processor and it works great.

My overall experience was a negative one. I was able to get it to work right once or twice but most of the time it just made It was having a very hard time being compatible with my iPhone.

To be able to take payments anywhere is great. Being mobile makes doing business during this time a very important business advantage.

Integrations is extremely easy. I liked everything about this product it is very convenient and a great tool.

It does everything that we need, it has a great website, great platform to create invoices and really good features for end of the year reports.

I love the portability and ease of use with Square. It has been wonderful for selling books at conventions.

I appreciate the ease of payments and immediate receipts straight to my device. It helps me keep by budget on track.

This software was excellent for ease of use and speed of accepted payments. Long the leader in this industry, we were thoroughly impressed.

I love how square makes it so easy to accept payments. It’s great for small businesses and startups.

Square has amazing customer support and provides great tech at reasonable prices for me and my freelance aspirations.

There is more competition coming along that is good, but Square is still a solid competitor. I love the UI and how easy things are on the user end and administrative end.

I dislike the fees that are charged for people processing payments for each transaction.

Square is a great company that is also focused on design and its ability to improve how we spend our money in a cashless age.

The company I work for uses square, and we love it. I really like that there are no monthly fee's and the pricing is very affordable.

I loved the ability to use it with a phone, tablet, or computer. The versatility was great.

We are very disappointed with how long they will hold the funds before transferring, there is often no rhyme or reason as to the length of time the funds are held.
