Square Point of Sale Software

Overall, I used the Square POS for a limited time but during that time I liked the simplicity of its interface and its clean look.

Pros

I used the Square POS system along with the Square contactless and chip reader. What I liked about this product is its simplistic yet clean look and fits well in my business - did not take up too much space. I also liked how easy it was to learn the actual POS system. It was not complicated and very straight forward and I was able to quickly get it setup for my needs. The learning curve is very simple and everyone at the company was able to pick it up with minimal experience. I liked the clean look of the interface itself and it is very organized.

Cons

A few problems that did stick out was the fact that sometimes the reader itself would need multiple tries in order to read a card correctly. It is not of the sturdiest material and that may have contributed to not working properly at times. Also, the merchant service fee per swipe is a bit on the pricey side at 2.75% per in person transaction (higher rate for keyed in transactions). There are cheaper options available but the convenience and availability of Square products are definitely something to keep in mind.

Pros

I've used this product for about 2 years and it's so great with my business, easy to use and low cost as well.

Cons

The rewards system is kind of hard to use and the interface could be updated a little bit. But other than that no issues.

Pros

Square allows you to not only process payments and send receipts a nd invoices, but also allows you to create appointment reminders at no extra charge.

Cons

Learning how to use it was a little confusing and finding out where to change the settings was not as easy as I had hoped.

I would recommend to others. Great pos and credit card processing in one tool.

Pros

Works great for my small bookkeeping practice and coffeestand I like how I can add all the prices and click to add.

Cons

Recurring invoice feature is a little pricey to use for credit card fees. I would like to see options to change item price such as coffee in 3 different prices, small medium large,

Please provide better customer support and after sales services.
Recommend to use.

Pros

Add item in system is easy to recommend.

Cons

some times ,it will be slow due to heavy data management,
startups will convey this software to boost their sales.

Square is absolutely amazing since I first started seeing their products with one man show type businesses. I personally signed up for a Square business account and was amazed at how fast I received my free Square reader and new account ready to start taking payments. It is obvious that they have their stuff together and I like it even more that their point of sale system allows you to be paid instantly for a very nominal 1% charge. Kudos to square. Enjoy your experience. The Square Cash app and system is just as great for sending and receiving money to family and friends.

Pros

• Free Square Card Reader
• Quick Business Account Sign Up
• Respected Equipment Others Are Used To Seeing

Cons

I truly do not have any cons with square. They have truly made a trusted name for themselves and when customers see the white square products with mobile devices they trust you as a reputable small business usually.

Pros

Easy to use, customers love it, eco-friendly, and very progressive! Text receipts and rewards system are effortless with the swipe of your card. It literally does all the work for you.

Cons

Haven't really seen much to complain about. We have had guests question the safety of their credit card information since its all attached to their phone number.

All in all, Square POS is a must have if you are a small business owner and want to expand your business by accepting a wide variety of payment options. It makes the sale process easy and convenient but on the other hand, it is does charge a fee for every transaction which can add up overtime.

Pros

Square POS, provides access to small business owners and vendors to an incredible variety of payment, invoicing and sale options. It makes the acceptance and use of credit cards exteremly convenient and it can all be operated with the convenience of a smart phone or a tablet.

Cons

The biggest negative of Square POS, is the fee structure as it does end up costing significant amount of money to vendors and small business owners and a small percentage of every sale goes directly to Square. It would be great if Square had more package options and a variety of plans instead of the flat fee on every transaction.

Pros

Very simple and easy to navigate. Not hard to teach someone else to use and that's what I find very necessary. It is handy for customers and not hard for technologically-challenged folks like myself!

Cons

The only problem I found was there were many times where the swiping didn't work so well, so sometimes, if not many times, I had to type in the numbers, but other than that, it's not too bad at all.

Pros

Very easy to use and straightforward. Very little learning curve. System can be picked up and used by anyone

Cons

Functionality is limited. Does the basic things well, but dont expect any outstanding features that other competitors dont have

Pros

Incredibly easy to use. Was a very cheap option for me when I was getting started. Small and compact for ease of travel.

Cons

Didn’t take debit when I used it. Although they have the debit tap reader now I’ve hear a lot of people saying it doesn’t work well and is finicky.

Square is amazing!

Pros

Square is perfect for any business that accepts payment. They make it really easy with the use of iPads, phones, computers, and it makes it easy to track sales.

Cons

I don't really have any! My only request would be that you can switch between locations within the Dashboard without having to log out and back in.1

Love it! Get it! You'll love it too!!!

Pros

EASY TO USE! Fast to receive your money! Easy to set up and get started in a few minutes! Great customer support ! Small enough to fit into even the smallest fashion purse/wallet!

Cons

None that I could find ... and I LOOKED ! Zero problems, no things I would like to change or have improved. Easy to LOVE!

I have used this system for my restauraunt for the past 3 years and love it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a POS thats easy to program sale items, keep track of inventory. Absolutely everything that you could ask for.

Pros

multifunctional product, that I can access from multiple devices with ease, employee clock in and bookeeping services are awesome

Cons

not being able to talk to a live person if needed, having to wait for an email response when there is an urgent situation is awful

def recommend esp if you are new to the industry. super efficient, reports are detailed.

Pros

super user friendly. our staff and we are new owners. had not much previous experience. this is really easy to learn and practice software.

Cons

some hardware issues with printer and cables . we had to turn off and on to get it worked a few time, but usually no issues

Pros

this product is easy to use and has good support and another plus the phone app quick and up to date

Cons

The square processer app purchase processing time can be a little long to receive funds or to have issues fixed

Customer service is top notch and responds both to online inquiries and emails. If I really need someone, there is a phone center with support as well. Great job!

Pros

The variety of utilization this software offers a small business is wonderful. Point of Sales, Payroll for employees or contractors, plus small business loans based on your sales activity are awesome benefits with low fees. I also get dispute coverage that acts like transaction insurance. They offer may services we have not taken advantage of yet. I look forward to growing with Square.

Cons

The only think I can think of improving is more control of payment dates for payroll, but at the moment it is very workable service.

Pros

The device is very easy to use and the software is very friendly . The customer support is very good also.

Cons

The only thing that i don’t like is the fees per transaction that are high compared to other services .

Pros

Square POS is the easiest POS I've ever used. Excellent for small businesses or franchises, easily streamlined, etc. Also simple to track down past purchases and receipts.

Cons

I really can't think of any cons other than the common default "tip suggestions" that appear to consumers - it sometimes comes across as aggressive in terms of asking for high % tips (often over 20%).

functional, easy, intuitive, just doesn't integrate

Pros

this is our back-up POS system for when our Clover device acts a fool. Square is ol' faithful at the shop. Good for on-the-go as well!

Cons

it doesn't integrate directly with our booking system, which is the only reason we do no use it 100% of the time.
