JR Jean R. Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/30/2026 "Square Point of Sale: Simple, Flexible, and Easy for Staff to Learn" 5/5 What do you like best about Square Point of Sale? What stands out most about Square Point of Sale for ROTHLEYS GROUP is how it balances simplicity with flexibility something that’s especially valuable if you’re operating different services. Staff can get up to speed quickly, which reduces training time and keeps operations running smoothly. Another strong point is its integrated ecosystem. Payments, reporting, inventory, and customer data all sit in one place. That makes it easier to track performance across sites and maintain consistency in how services are delivered and billed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Square Point of Sale? One of the main concerns is transaction fees. While Square is convenient, its per-transaction pricing can become expensive over time, particularly for businesses with high volumes or larger ticket sizes. Unlike some competitors, there’s limited room to negotiate lower rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Square Point of Sale solving and how is that benefiting you? It also removes complexity from taking payments. Whether you’re on-site, remote, or working across cities, you can accept payments quickly and securely without needing multiple tools. That reliability improves cash flow and reduces the time spent chasing payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ease of automations that Square Point of Sale provides. The automated reminders and the integrations are super helpful. The automations include automatic payment reminders, which help my clients keep track of when their payments are due. It also allows clients to automatically save their payments on file for repeat transactions, saving me time and manual work. I also like the estimates feature, which is very helpful for our business since we usually provide estimates after consultation calls. I appreciate that Square was very easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Square Point of Sale? One thing that I wish Square Point of Sale did have was possibly a few more features for maybe the free plan.

Customer Service Representative Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/21/2026 "Essential for Seamless Payment in Small Business" 4/5 What do you like best about Square Point of Sale? I really like how Square Point of Sale allows me to take various payments on demand, whether I'm using a tablet or phone. It's convenient to have the flexibility of collecting payments on any device I'm using, including being able to manually key in card numbers when needed. This feature was especially handy when I experienced issues with tap payments at a pop-up shop. It ensures that my customers can still purchase what they want without any hassle. I also found the initial setup surprisingly easy, which was a pleasant surprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Square Point of Sale? The tap feature requires internet access, and even though I had great internet access on my mobile device and access to Wi-Fi, the tap function wasn't the best.

DC Director C. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/26/2026 "Just Ok - Fair fee costs, good tools for inventory, lacking in support" 2.5/5 What do you like best about Square Point of Sale? Square for Retail has great features for inventory tracking, including a receiving feature and cost of goods reports. Transactions are generally quick and easy on the point of sale register or handheld terminal, and Square provides nonprofits like ours with a discounted credit card processing rate. Switching from Clover POS to Square POS has allowed us to save on processing fees and helps us keep better track of our inventory. It also allows us to use online payment links without needing a full online store. Another feature we like is the Customer Directory, which automatically captures customer data, as well as allows us to group customers so we can give unique discounts to different membership levels. The directory is also helpful for reporting visitor demographics and visitor return rates (we can see who returns weekly, monthly, or has visited only once). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Square Point of Sale? The major downside of Square is it's lack of adequate customer support. I often have to wait hours on the phone, only to be told there is a glitch or issue that nobody knows how to fix yet, After several days, the issue may resolve itself, but I am never followed up with, and never informed of what caused the issue or how it was fixed. While Square advertises it has integrations with many other software products, we have found that most of those integrations are actually not customizable enough for our needs. For example, only a few of the fields are able to be sent through third party integration apps like Zapier. We have also tried the Quickbooks integration (it only sent a general sales figure over, not different figures for nontaxable and taxable sales), and the WooCommerce integration (cannot use products with multiple variable features online - like a tee shirt with a size variation AND a color variation), so we have not been able to use any integrations.
