"Square Payment Processing"

5/5

What do you like best about Square Payments?

It provides an easy way to accept payment via credit cards online and in person. This way I can send an invoice out to a client and have them pay online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Payments?

The fees are not that great. Although it is only three percent plus extra depending on the payment type it still cuts into the gross of each business gross profit. If there was a way to make these fees lower that would be of great service to small business owners like myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Square Payments:

If you're looking for an easy way to process payments quickly and effectively you have found your software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Square Payments solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly convenient payment options to receive money in a variety of ways. Using the swipe option in person is pretty cool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, seamless POS and payment processing in one"

5/5

What do you like best about Square Payments?

I love that Square is so easy to use that I can hand my POS to a friend who is helping with my business for a day, and not have to go through an entire training session for them to be able to assist me with sales. Deposit speed is awesome, and inventory options are plenty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Payments?

There are a few subtle nuances in item creation and inventory modifier sets that are less than intuitive but honestly I have very few complaints about Square. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Square Payments:

Definitely use the Square POS and item grid/inventory systems to make your life easier! Every business I've used Square with has benefitted from these aspects.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Square Payments solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was previously using a system that did not provide good customer support, reliable hardware, or easy transfers to outside banks. Square fixed all of that for me and normally I don't even need support because it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5

What do you like best about Square Payments?

Easy and simple to use. Anybody at our company can process the transaction using simply an iPad or an iPhone Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Payments?

At times it is a bit complex to calculate the fees applied to each transaction ahead of the payment. Fees are different if the card is swiped in person or if the transaction is processed remotely. I wish this could be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you don't have yet a method to process credit card payments, go for it. You have nothing to lose and it really can help your business to grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we did not use square, the only way for our customers to purchase was to pay everything in advance. I think square gave us the opportunity to broaden our business and gain more customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best option in it's space"

5/5

What do you like best about Square Payments?

Having used multiple mobile POS payment processing systems, the simplicity and ease of use for square still hasn't been beat. The thing that isn't often praised but much criticized when it is bad is reliability, and this system is reliable. The customer support is also something you won't beat with competing options. Lastly, the software on both mobile and desktop is a seamless experience, cutting training needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Payments?

The hardware itself for Square can occasionally act up, and the design of the card readers for mobile phones allow annoying, unhindered spin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how simple and easy it is to attach to the phone and act as a POS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Payments?

Can sometimes crash when processing more than one payment in a short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Square Payments:

Try and make sure that the the payment processor works at a better rate than currently, sometimes it is very slow and the washout is not always easy. Manual entry is a nightmare and needs to be fixed as well, but customer service are really great options to have when needed and if you are having issues with payments or fraud.
