The Perfect Payment Processing Option for Small Business

My overall experience is A++ since I am able to accept and process payment at a fraction of the cost and without costing me more time and effort.

PROS

Using this software for a couple of years now I really like the ease of use and how it's transferable between all my devices. I am able to access reports, process payments, and more from the mobile dashboard or my PC. It doesn't require that I have or use any additional products or equipment for function. They have very friendly and knowledgable customer service and support. I love that you are able to integrate Square into other systems for a more robust system.

CONS

I wasn't able to really pin point anything that I didn't like or enjoy regarding the software.

Reason for choosing Square Payments

Because if checked off more of the boxes for what I was looking for and the cost was Amazing.

Reasons for switching to Square Payments

Paypal had so many restrictions and hold times.

DO NOT USE SQUARE

The worst possible experience. Do not use Square.

PROS

There are no pros.

CONS

They are thieves. This company allowed us to become users, they allowed us to process some large payments from our clients then they said we cannot use their services and are holding on to over $20,000 of valid payments. There was no reason at all provided to us. We are an IT company that has large transactions. Square support is almost impossible to contact a live person. These folks indicate now that they will hold our money for 90 days. Good for them they get great interest off of our money. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
