Was just on the phone over 30 minutes to get my free reader. Absolutely insane! If it's this stressful just setting up I'm worried about trying to use it daily. I had to go in circles with chat bot to even get the number for customer service & they really couldn't even tell me what the problem was. Probably have to use this service for the weekend but definitely looking for something better. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!

We know first impressions matter, and we understand why this has you concerned about day-to-day use. Not getting a clear explanation after all that time only adds to the disappointment, and that’s not the level of support we want to provide.

RETAILERS BEWARE!!!!! DO NOT purchase the square point of sale system if you have over 50 items in your store. It does not perform basic retail tasks like Quickbooks. And if you need help they charge you for it after you just paid over $2000 for their system and you have to pay them monthly. It's a joke. The amount of hours we have put into this system and the inventory is still messing up for no reason at all. Stick with Quickbooks.

Was ok prior to this new 3 step verification. No more just opening app plugging in reader and go. Now you have to jump through hoops to open it, or you can get a whopping 90 days before you gotta jump through hoops. Used this app for over 5 years. It never took that long to do a card payment...ridiculous! With their rates being some of the highest in the industry and now a complete inconvenience to use, I will be going elsewhere.
