Square Payments

Pros: Square is convenient and easy to use at our stand alone off site events. The portable machine makes taking customer payments easy.

Cons: I dislike how when we do events in hotel conference centers for example, places where the WiFi has a lading page with password, the device can not log in.

Pros: I have used square for my business for about 20 years. They have always been very dependable and user friendly. Emails are immediately sent on every sale and transaction. The money is in my bank account within a couple of days.

Cons: The only negative I can say is their website can be a little bit complicated until you get used to it.

Pros: Square has been an excellent payment platform for our fishing charter business, especially in seasonal, travel-driven markets like Alaska and Florida. It gives clients multiple ways to pay, including online deposits, final trip balances, invoices, and in-person card payments at the dock. Invoicing and payment tracking are straightforward, and the mobile card reader adds flexibility when working in the field or at the marina. It’s also easy to track payments, stay organized, and provide a professional payment experience for clients.

Cons: The transaction fees can add up during peak charter seasons when processing a high volume of bookings and larger payments. There can also be occasional holds or verification requests on larger transactions, which can be inconvenient when managing a busy schedule. Outside of that, the platform has been very dependable.

Pros: Payment processing, card payments, phone payments, website payments, easy to use, easy to set up, manual payments

Cons: Its a little bit expensive. For every payment someone makes it charges a percentage of the payment and it takes awhile to withdraw money

Pros: I love square because it does the new hiring filing, my quarterly taxes and so much more. My employees and contractors can even look up their check stubs whenever they want it.

Cons: Square still does not protect against fraud and protecting the business owner. Other than that, I love Square.

Pros: I love that it is so easy to use and that I can use it anywhere as long as I have my phone. And now it has a tap feature

Cons: I have not had any problems with this at all since I started using it and Ican actually say I was alittle surprised

Pros: Super easy to use. I've never had any bugs or issues. It makes payment processing a breeze. I've accepted card payments all over without a single issue. it just works.

Cons: The cons are setting up all your products is a little clunky. It just takes too much time to get everything crafted and also the UI of manually creating orders for someone can be improved.

Pros: We only use it when we go to expos, which is about 3 times a year. This is such an affordable and easy way for us to manage those.

Cons: Absolutely nothing, it's a great system. So easy, customers love it, and there's no costs if we don't use it for a few months.

Pros: What I like most about Square Payments is how simple and convenient it makes accepting payments. The setup is quick, the interface is very user-friendly, and transactions process smoothly whether in person or online. I also appreciate the clear reporting and easy access to sales data, which makes tracking revenue and managing day-to-day operations much easier. The transparent pricing and fast deposits are another big plus. Overall, it’s a reliable, efficient payment solution that helps keep business running smoothly.

Cons: What I like least about Square Payments is that the transaction fees can add up, especially for larger invoices or high-volume processing. There are also occasional delays with deposits or account reviews that can be frustrating when you need quick access to funds. Additionally, some of the more advanced features require paid add-ons, which increases overall costs. While it’s a very convenient platform, those extra expenses and occasional holds can be a downside.

Pros: I love that I can now offer credit card payment options to our customers. It makes it easier to get our payment faster.

Cons: The thing I like the least about Square Payments is the transaction fees. Yes, the payment is convenient, but it gets to be a lot on larger payments.

Pros: The ease of accepting payments, super self explanatory, ease of use, and very user friendly. I love the face there is plug ins for Apple and Android

Cons: Sometimes the service can be distributed easily if the weather is not ideal. Causes sales to be lost sometimes.

Pros: What I like most about Square is how simple and reliable it is. It’s easy to set up, easy to use, and it just works — which is huge when you’re dealing with payments at gigs or with clients. The interface is clean, and you can get paid quickly without jumping through a bunch of hoops.

Cons: What I like least is the fees — they add up pretty quickly, especially on larger payments. It’s convenient, but you definitely feel it over time. There’s also not a ton of flexibility in how those fees are structured, so you kind of just have to accept it as the cost of using the platform.

Pros: I liked how easy Square Payments is to use, especially for a small business. The setup was quick, and I was able to start accepting payments right away without any complicated steps. I also appreciate the all-in-one system—it handles payments, inventory, and sales tracking in one place. The mobile app is user-friendly, and being able to accept card payments anywhere is a huge plus. The transparent pricing with no hidden fees makes it even better for managing my business finances.

Cons: One downside is the processing fees, which can add up over time, especially for small businesses with lower margins. I also noticed that transfers to my bank account can sometimes take longer than expected unless I pay an extra fee for instant deposits. Another issue is that account holds or payment reviews can happen without much notice, which can be frustrating when you rely on consistent cash flow.

Pros: The different payment methods are very handy. It is also very easy to set up on your mobile device so payments can be taken directly from your mobile with no equipment needed. The ability to customize items, taxes and tips in the app are very simple to set up. Payments are secure and quick.

Cons: The only con which is minor in my opinion is the 1-3 day wait to transfer funds. They do have ways around this with a small fee or by using the square card which makes funds spendable immediately.

Pros: Square is truly "plug and play." I love that there are no monthly contracts or hidden startup fees. The interface is incredibly intuitive, and training new staff on the POS system takes minutes, not hours. The integration between the online store and physical card reader is seamless.

Cons: The flat-rate transaction fees can get expensive as the business grows. I also wish it were easier to get a live human on the phone for technical support during weekend rushes.

Pros: Very user friendly. Really like how fast it is. Better then most. The set up is so easy and payment is very easy for clients

Cons: The cost is about the only downside on this system. You need a few extra items to make the process better for clients.

Pros: What I like most about Square Payments is the point of sale ability this software has given to particularly small businesses and even hobbyists. I do a fair of online shopping, often times from small vendors and private individuals. Square allows these sellers to easily accept electronic forms of payments from buyers who they otherwise may not have been able to or would have historically may have only accepts cash or check for payment.

Cons: As a consumer who has only used Square Payments for processing payments as a buyer, there is nothing that I can think of that I would consider a con of Square Payments. I have never used Square Payments as a seller though, so perhaps there may be cons associated there.

Pros: I really liked how easy it is to accept payments with Square. The setup process was quick, and the interface is very user-friendly. Being able to take payments in person, online, or through invoices all in one platform is incredibly convenient. The reporting tools also make it simple to track sales and performance.

Cons: Transaction fees can add up over time, especially for small businesses with tighter margins. It would be nice to see more flexibility or lower rates for frequent users.

Pros: The user friendly interface and ease of use of the product. We use square for our coffee and bar business

Cons: The cost per transaction. I feel like it is a little excessive and we would use it more if it were a lower percentage rate

Pros: I love my square device and payment system. I have had 2 different devices now and I love them. Great for the office and mobile services

Cons: The app can use some fixes but for the most part it works very well. small bugs but I am sure they will be fixed soon

Pros: I like the ease of use and the payment processing. It makes running my business very manageable and easy.

Cons: I do not like customer support. I would like if it was more quicker responses. Rather than waiting days for a response.

Pros: We use Square's card readers for attendees to pay for admission to our program events. Never had a problem with the system and it works well in combination with our ERP system. In addition, the reporting features help us easily drop data into Microsoft Excel and manipulate the data.

Cons: Overall, I have little criticism for Square. The system works well, does what it's supposed to do, and transferring money to our bank is easy.
