Square Online

Pros: Very easy to integrate with my Wordpress website. Surprisingly, The links all worked on my very first attempt.

Cons: Square charges merchant processing fees, so they take a cut of every transaction which is never fun. Shop around - fee vary widely.

Pros: Square has been a powerful platform for our nonprofit. We are able to process payments with a premium feel product, without the ongoing costs that many other POS systems have. The pay-as-we go type structure is flexible for our nonprofit. We do not bill frequently enough to justify a monthly fee, and so this option has been incredible. It was super easy to make our own, customizing the products, prices, receipts, and options at the click of a button. It integrates powerfully with other tools that use. This makes sales online, over the phone, through invoice, or on-site at events a breeze, and the platform is easy enough that anyone on my team can use it with their user/team options.

Cons: We have faced some challenges when out on the site with connectivity of card readers, particularly those that connect via Bluetooth to an iPad. Once connected they are quick and easy to use, however the initial connection during a period can be tough. We are an infrequent use organization, since we accept payments with this platform during events, it could be months without using and I think this contributes to the difficulty versus it connecting to the device every day. I do find the iPad layout to be a bit more clunky, feeling like an enlarged iPhone layout versus its own dedicated design.

Pros: Easy use, customer first model, well made interface that allows for money management to be stress free

Cons: The only complaint i have with square online is the speed in which customer service requests are handled.

Pros: I like the joined-up card reader and online payment facilities, especially with free website. By paying a bit more our members can login and check their past and coming orders.

Cons: Inability to accept bookings for later payment (online or via card reader) for things like club events

Pros: A great way to pay and get paid for services when you need to accept multiple credit cards and don't want to rely only on cash payments or bank transfers.

Cons: The fees are similar to what you pay for PayPal or other competitors. It would be nice if they were a bit lower.

Pros: This product has a great security and wonderful website customization. Payments and invoicing couldn’t be simpler. Great value for the money.

Cons: There was a little bit of a learning curve, which I always find difficult when trying to set up a new site or storefront.

Pros: Easy to use set up and navigate great platform use it daily for both my businesses excellent experience

Cons: I got confused at first but the customer service was phenomenal and helpful and got me back on track

Pros: Square Online has a set of comprehensive features and point of sales systems that make starting a business easy without needing to build an entire website to sell products from scratch. The products they offer allow for both ecommerce and brick and mortar stores. Additionally, when tendering transactions, the sales tax is automatically calculated for you as the business.

Cons: The service fees in place for credit card and online transactions is kind of high. Square Online could do a better job of balancing the need to make money while allowing businesses to keep more of their hard earned money. Additionally, there could be some options for businesses that still handle cash in 2025.

Pros: Easy access, always loving the black and white interface of the platform, makes it easy to access numbers.

Cons: Seamless usage, absolutely no issues, would say least thing liked, it can take some time to get familiar well enough to understand the entire platform

Pros: They are continuing to update the program. New improvements, features and functionality continue to evolve with square.

Cons: Wish improvements could happen a bit quicker. Some additional functionality with pop-ups would be helpful.

Pros: The design is intriguing. The website is driven directly from the POS data so there are no separate "product records". This makes inventory sync automatic but the backbone of the site is subject to the quality of the POS data.

Cons: Too many things to list fully. There is no reporting or management capability of images except one-at-a-time. For large image repositories, this is death. There is no built in under-construction concept so you have to build a fake page and then disable navigation to work on a dev site. To preview it, you have to turn on nav and preview while editing a live site. Large data sets are hopeless with their tools. Support is terrible. You get passed from department to department and often they can't verify your profile to help you. There is no way to build a content page that isn't a product record. Overall the development tools are not ready for prime time. Square sells you on using variations... beware. They have tons of limitations.

Pros: As selling on-line was new to us, the ease of set-up was very welcome. Information on the website was extremely helpful in assisting to make an informed decision to use this service.

Cons: Nothing comes to mind currently as we have only used it for a very short time. (couple months). Since we are new to this e-commerce process, I am thinking there may come a time when it will get tedious or frustrating. Not sure. :)

Pros: Square Online allows a Square user to create a website that directly integrates with the Square app. This means you get real time inventory adjustments and changes as well as being able to update your website right from the dashboard.

Cons: The only thing I don't really like about Square Online is all of the fancier design features are locked behind paywalls.

Pros: Seamless integration to POS inventory and generally square customer list. Constant improvement in design options.

Cons: Inability to be more flexible with local delivery. Inability to set shipping/delivery at the item variation level. Clunky transactional email set up process. Stories function isn’t smooth when setting up new stories.

Pros: The website builder was easy to navigate and the analytical were also very helpful. The square online analytics were about to pin point the time, location and funnel my website traffic was coming from

Cons: The website was very limited in its build. It was difficult to embed widgets and other code that was is produced by a third party such as a booking page, google analytics code etc. Example: Square does not allow certain pages to have sub drop down pages.

Pros: Used to be really easy and convenient to use for checkouts and order processing online or in store. The instant deposits very great.

Cons: These past 2 years of using square have been a nightmare. Customer Service is rude and no help. My system have glitches they will not help me fix. I purchased a $279 terminal and they will not fix or replace it after it malfunctioned.

Pros: It was one of the earliest ways to do secure POS sales.

Cons: The clunky interface added confusion to the back end process.

Pros: Square Online is a great website builder! I love all of the features and super easy to use!!

Cons: I’ve had no issues with Square Online. It is super user friendly and easy to navigate!

Pros: It’s great that customers can make payments while we’re on the go, and the system is very easy to use.

Cons: The Square app and card reader don’t always work reliably and tend to go down quite often, which is unfortunate.

Pros: It was easy to charge people for my camps.

Cons: Sometimes the fees were a little steep for my liking.

Pros: I like square because it’s very easy to use

Cons: I don’t have anything that’s bad to say about square

Pros: Free to send to you but then you pay a percentage of each transaction

Cons: You have to pay a portion of each transaction

Pros: Transactions work fairly well when set up properly.

Cons: Reports are poor quality - seemed to be designed by IT rather than accountants or book keepers. Customer support when needed very poor.
