The BEST
Wonderful experience! I live this thing. I use it all the time and it’s the only thing I’ve ever used for my business. I’ve worked in the food industry for years before starting my own business and square is my favorite payment processing and terminal
PROSThe ease of use. I can be at home, at a market, at the studio and I can make seamless transactions anywhere with my cake business
CONSNo cons for the terminal itself. It’s not super expensive, but even if you’re just starting out they offer it on payment plans
Reason for choosing Square Virtual Terminal
I love the look of it and all of the features
Reasons for switching to Square Virtual Terminal
Wanted something that would make taking payments quick easy and convenient for me and my customers

Square for us is a dare
I have had a neutral experience with square, i had many problems that didn't meet our bussiness needs but they fixed everything and i returned everything and switched to paypal so i cant really complain to much
PROSI liked their software easy to use and setup pos system and easy to program inventory and design
CONSThe hidden fees, expensive hardware, and non support for e-commerce solutions for online retail and non square customers. You must buy their expensive hardware and software monthly fees and maintenance fees and high transaction fees vs a standalone like paypal with no fees and all customers welcome
Reason for choosing Square Virtual Terminal
I didn't choose square over paypal i choose paypal and switched from square to paypal and paypal here and couldn't be any happier

Great product, but needs work
I really like the product, ease of use, and portability, however, the connection issues are really a deterrent. Regarding online payments, I think the product is great for an e-commerce store. However, when you're at an event, whether it's on secured wi-fi or mobile data, the connection is really flakey.
PROSThe product is very easy to use and the interface is user-friendly. Square makes it very easy to accept payments in multiple formats including the chip-reader, swipe attachment, and the terminal.
CONSI am constantly having issues with the connection and the card reader not working. I know Square has an option to accept payments when offline, but I don't have confidence in accepting high-dollar payments with this feature. I've been to several events where multiple vendors around me are also facing the same issue.
Reason for choosing Square Virtual Terminal
Square was being more commonly used amongst vendors and I didn't want to make a jump to PayPal. Even though PayPal is a trusted brand, Square felt more modern and since many small business owners were using it, I decided to go with Square as well. I feel that Square represents small business owners better than PayPal.
Reasons for switching to Square Virtual Terminal
I originally used PaySwipe until I became aware of Square. Square seemed to be more modern and it was becoming more commonly used amongst business owners. I wanted to use a product that had brand recognition, so I made the switch.

Easy to use and set up!
My overall experience has been great. I've only needed their customer service help once and they were awesome.
PROSIt's super convenient. I have clients all over the place and I go to them to create their fantastical portraits. I can take my virtual terminal anywhere and it works!
CONSI haven't really found anything I don't like about this software. It does just what I need it to do and it works every time.
Reasons for switching to Square Virtual Terminal
Because PayPal kept my money for months and wouldn't pay it out to me and I couldn't seem to get a human who could help me with that issue.
