Ratings and reviews

I love using square for my pos system at markets, and it's very user friendly/easy to use!! I plan on using it as my main website soon (with the free subscription). I do wish there was an annual subscription cost option instead of just monthly payments. My main problem lately has been that the app keeps undoing my work (when I add an item or image it will save, but when I go back to the item later it's not there anymore). It's been frustrating and unusable since I can't edit or add any new items

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.
