Square Makes Running My Business so Simple
I am a big fan of any software that does a lot...and man Square Point of Sale does A LOT!!! It has seriously made running my business so much easier, and even kind of fun. I love how much I can customize it, how detailed I can get with it, but also how easy it is to create invoices and things on the fly. I can use it across multiple devices, making it useful ANYWHERE.
Pros
I like how much I can customize it; that I can use it across all my devices; I can use it anywhere; it creates records for me, helps with taxes, saves client info. All that stuff that can fall between the cracks.
Cons
I'll admit, I haven't come across anything that is a major flaw so far. Any complaint I have is the sort of thing I would encounter with any online POS and/or accounting software - things like the tediousness of entering product/service items to be saved and other repetitive tasks like that.
Reasons for choosing Square Point of Sale
I use Weebly for my website and I saw that it integrates with Square so I hopped over to the Square website and I liked what I saw.

Simple and easy
Pros
I like that this is so straight forward and easy. It’s very simple to use and they don’t try to hide a bunch of fees. So clean and simple!
Cons
The only thing that’s sometimes a little frustrating is running reports, it won’t download as pdf. So I have to save it as an image.

Terrible service
It’s been the worst experience ever. Would not recommend to anyone. It’s put me in a pinch trying to wait for the payment processing and ended with refunding the money because I was sick of waiting on customer service a week later and the refund will be another week and then processing payment with another company service qb. Payed for material and employees and all said and done this will be a 3-4 week process sense starting the job. As a small business this can make or break you.
Pros
Nothing.. they hold onto your money if it’s a large amount for over 7 days. Their customer service sucks. It’s expensive for card processing.
Cons
Everything.. I just signed up for quick books and it’s a way better platform and you can do bank transfers or card payments right from the invoice. Quickbooks is worth every dollar for there monthly service. It saves you money in the long run.

Best Choice, Hands Down
My experience has been really really good. This is an ideal product, designed simply to make life and business easier. And that's exactly what it does.
Pros
The simple design and ease of use is my favorite! This made taking electronic payment so easy and effortless. Especially during a time where everyone was already stressed enough, contactless payments meant one less stress on everybody.
Cons
I don't have anything negative to say about this product! It delivers, and for a fraction of what the competitors are charging. What's there not to like?
Reasons for choosing Square Point of Sale
The cost! It was a great cost for my needs, it surpassed what I needed and when or if I expand my business, I know that Square Point of Sale will expand with me.
