"Square has allowed our company to grow and evolve."

5/5

What do you like best about Square Point of Sale?

Training is easy, visual representations of products and choices are good for staff, subscription billing linked to customers in the POS and gift card redemption ease are great for the business. The POS is a daily use item for us and we run it on our Square Register as well as on computers, the square terminal, and our personal devices when need arises. We switched from another provider and the changeover was very easy and training was a breeze. Square offers a great library and online community for help.

We have had a lot more success in accuracy in transaction ringing by new trainees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Point of Sale?

Some of the integration with online syncing was tricky at first but those issues have been worked out over time and Square is very receptive of feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Business Partner For Life"

5/5

What do you like best about Square Point of Sale?

Square Point of Sale makes running a small boutique and skincare studio easy for me day-to-day. I've used it for record-keeping, sales, reports, and planning since about 2012. It was super easy to get started. I like that each year a few new features are added. The ability to just use an iPad or my phone is game-changing so I don't have to invest in expensive hardware. The software is easy to use-- if you can use a phone you can use this. Over the years I've upgraded and downgraded as sales or business shifts. My favorite part is I can see my sales information all the way back to 2012. It can be as basic or in-depth as you want. I feel it has grown as my business grew. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Point of Sale?

I think it could do more. There are several features I'd like to see added. New Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Square Point of Sale solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Square for inventory management. I've tried several other POS systems and Square accomplishes things easily for me. I like that everything is all in one place. For example, I track my online sales and orders in the Square POS app. I track in person sales. I keep track of inventory. I use the reports daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Transformative Tool for Whisky Run Golf Club"

5/5

What do you like best about Square Point of Sale?

After a decade of frustration with five different POS systems at Whisky Run Golf Club, Square POS has proven to be a game changer. None of the previous systems, even those labeled as 'best in class,' could hold a candle to what Square offers.

Square provides an all-in-one solution that integrates seamlessly across multiple facets of our operations. From retail to food and beverage, professional services to invoicing, it's all covered with modern, user-friendly software. The ability to manage our website, e-commerce, gift cards, loyalty programs, and marketing in one place has streamlined our business like never before.

Since adopting Square, we've seen our revenue double, largely thanks to the innovative loyalty solution. This feature alone has provided the highest return on marketing investment we've ever experienced. The system's ease of use and comprehensive reporting have allowed us to make informed decisions quickly, enhancing customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

There are probably more fantastic aspects of Square that I haven't even touched upon here, but the impact it has had on our club is undeniable. Square isn't just a POS system; it's the backbone of our business strategy, pushing us towards success in ways we hadn't imagined possible. Highly recommended for any business looking to truly elevate their service and sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Point of Sale?

Being such a large company, Square sometimes overlooks unique feature requests from smaller businesses. This can mean that some of the specialized needs or innovative ideas don't always get the attention or development they might in a more niche-focused POS provider.

However, this is a minor complaint when set against the backdrop of all the benefits Square brings to the table. The positives overwhelmingly outweigh these small negatives, making Square an indispensable part of our daily operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust. Highly intuitive. Still with massive roadblocks."

5/5

What do you like best about Square Point of Sale?

Across the board, Square has done a LOT to improve their platform for the betterment of their users. I like that there are so many different reports, capabilities, user interface customization, the online sector being taken into account, and so on. Truthfully, Square has developed a platform so robust in comparison to its beauty/wellness counterparts that it's hard to think of each individual thing I like best.

In general, I'd have to say the thing I like best about Square POS is seeing how much it has grown in the 7 years I've been using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Point of Sale?

Fragmentation and user capability.

I run a complex hair and scalp service business. It is impossible, so I'm told, to get the capabilities that businesses on the "Retail" POS get because I'm a part of "Appointments" and that's not something that can be offered. Um...what? So because I run an appointment-based business, I'm not authorized to have the full capabilities for shipping, inventory, etc.? Do I not also have retail in my business that would benefit from "Retail" capabilities? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Square Point of Sale solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have an electronic record that saves me from having tons of paper around my office.

See. This is a perfect place to point out I can't really list out what Square POS is "solving" for me in terms of my retail because I don't have the full capability of inventory reports, analysis, etc. because I'm not "fully" a Retail user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
