Reviews of Square Payments
Alternatives Considered:
Square is perfect for mobile or online businesses.
Comments: What I like most about square payments is my business is mobile and I don't have a card reader so I can take payments from the app by simply and putting card number and accepting the payment. I also like how I invoices.
Pros:
What I like most about square payments is ease of use for mobile payments and ability to send invoices mobile.
Cons:
I don't like the processing fee. But all services have a processing fee so I don't mind that it's a little cheaper than others.
Alternatives Considered:
My Business LOVED Using Square Payments to Grow My Business
Comments: I used Square payments mostly for invoicing but I have been on the customer end of it and Loved it.
Pros:
I love how easy it was to use and also affordable. When my business wasn't making much, I could not afford Quickbooks and Square made doing business so much easier.
Cons:
Can not recall anything I didn't like about it. It seems it isn't as comprehensive for business accounting like Quickbooks is.
Alternatives Considered:
Hefty price tag for sleek features
Comments: Square was effortless to set up and provided me everything I needed to accept wireless payments for my mobile studio. The ability to accept card anytime, anywhere was lucrative. The fees are high cost of operation are eventually what brought me away from them. For an enterprise business it would make more sense, but not for an SMB.
Pros:
Square payments is awfully intuitive, probably the most learnable and quick to use platform of them all. They feature native integrations to any phone or computer you use. The app can even take payments on iPhone without a POS system. It is a UI dream and even keeps payments engaging and fun. Since they are a big company they have multiple lines of support, and ever adding features.
Cons:
Square payments is expensive, I would say the most expensive of them all. I only lasted 3 months using their service. I was roped in by the ability to accept tap to pay on my iPhone without the need for equipment. However, the fees per transaction were getting up to 2.75% each, with additional fees for instant deposit into bank account. On $10,000 I paid Square about $400 in fees out of my hard earned revenue.
Great software for the new small business
Comments: This is great software for the begginer or someone who has a wide range of people accepting payments
Pros:
Ease of use and fluidity from step to step
Cons:
The cost and time frame for disbursement of dunds
Easy way for a business to be able to accept credit card payments
Comments: Overall its the best and easiest option for being able to accept credit card payments without having to jump through a lot of hoops and these days people don't carry cash so in order to make sales you have to be able to accept credit cards.
Pros:
I like that I can use Square to accept credit card payments or my small business with out having to set up an account with one of the major credit card processing companies. Easy one stop shop
Cons:
I dislike the cost of the tap terminals and processing fees.
