Ratings and reviews

The swiping and product listing work well. The checking account and savings account access are horrific and not very user friendly. My goal was to have everything in a nice easy to use point of sale, to checking and savings (which do work). But, the dashboard is so poorly set up. I'm already looking to switch back to a normal bank. Maybe, it's a little bit me? But, I do have multiple online banking accounts and this is by far the least intuitive or user friendly of all of them.

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.

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.
