Square Point of Sale - POS

Block, Inc.

About this app

Square Point of Sale is the customisable point-of-sale app that enables you to sell anywhere and in any way your customers want to buy.

Use the Point of Sale app with a Square Reader to allow customers to pay with contactless from all major credit and debit cards or touch-free using payment links, QR codes, Apple Pay, Google Pay or by manually entering their card details.

Issue and track invoices directly from the app. Customise your invoices, set up weekly or monthly recurring invoices from your Dashboard and let customers pay online with a credit or debit card. You can even save their card details on file for automatic payments on recurring invoices.

Connect your Point of Sale app to a free Square Online Store to accept orders for pickup and delivery.

Funds are transferred fast – see money in your bank account as soon as the next business day.

Use your point-of-sale system to keep track of sales and inventory in real time, manage items and employees and view analytics about your business.

All this with no long-term contracts or surprise fees.

Ratings and reviews

You've had lots of these reports ON YOUR FORUMS. See the 1 & 2 star reviews. It used to be great but in 2020 I (and other vendors at fairs) noticed the chip reader was going slower and disconnecting after every transaction. After having me try a few things, Support blames AT&T, AT&T says it's not on their end so I paid more for a hotspot. Now it's even slower and still disconnects every transaction. UGH! My profits are based on speed. This just isn't working. I need to find a solution.

I got square because my husband has had it for about 10 years, it has been good for him. I am a very small business. I just needed a way to except credit cards. I can't even get thru the verification process. I spoke to someone on the phone who couldn't or wouldn't explane why I was flagged for further verification. They want all this info and it won't upload on their app. After three phone calls they email me a link that did allow upload. Not my phone. They still won't say why. This app sucks!

The 6/10 update removed the ability to deposit checks into your Square account. The change was not noted in the update, the online legal terms for Square usage, or the support documentation that all confirm this feature is available subject to agreeing to the terms. Calling support, they stated to deposit checks, the account requires a "certain amount of banking history for that feature to be enabled," but they can't tell you how much or what kind. I've had good history so this is infuriating.
