Ratings and reviews

Used to love square, now looking into switching. Their processing fees have gone up, the subscriptions are pricey, they still charge you the next month when you cancel a subscription. Everything with them is complicated. Not a happy customer, they charge me way more in fees than the 3% charge for the transaction fee. Id look at all options before choosing square. It's also hard to set up. They don't look out for business owners much.

Vendors can only be added on the computer. Some features not available on the phone. Since the phone and computer are used quite a bit when inventory is received,this can be a nuisance. Quickbooks is something used by our company. The 2 systems do not talk to one another and requires us to still use a spreadsheet internally. Overall it's a good system, but could be better.

Sales reports don't ever actually sync with the POS until after close of day. We've reached out to support multiple times and explained that the app shows 2 transactions when we've had 20. We asked if there are different settings we need to change to get this to work and they told us to uninstall and reinstall the app. We did that. It didn't work. They keep saying the same things but never actually fix the problem.

What’s new

We update our apps regularly to make sure they’re at 100%, so we suggest turning on automatic updates on devices running Square Point of Sale.
