It’s great and gives my customers so many payment options including Clearpay and that means so much for me as a small business. I can offer so many easy ways to pay me, especially for my customers from abroad. True game changer for my business\! Online terminal means that I can easily send payment links and if for some reason there is an issue with one way of doing it, Square gives me more options and it’s great. > > **Cons**: I don’t think I have least favourite thing. The only think I maybe don't fully get is why there is a separate app for invoicing but maybe this make sense if square is the only system you use. > > Square is a game changer for such a small business as mine. I believe that since I am offering many payment options, my customers are more keen to buy. I find it a great tool to especially when dealing with my customers from abroad, I don’t think I would be able to have them without square. Many options, great even if your business is growing fast, and at the same time very intuitive and easy to use on mobiles as well as on a computer. ----- ### "Easy to use card payment service, without hidden costs" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *7 January 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a great way to start taking card payments without the monthly charges if a smaller business. The ease of use means its quick and easy to set up and starting taking payments across all card types. > > **Cons**: We are a mobile provider so the larger hardware does require internet access which we don't have. However we we now use the payment via mobile phone so this isn't an issue anymore. > > We've used this for around 6 years and found it to work for our business as we've grown and new features / ways to take payment have developed. ----- ### "Big fan of Square" — 5.0/5 > **Ismael** | *26 November 2024* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Such a simple and smart system to use. I love that you can tap a payment card on a terminal to bring up all previous transactions. > > **Cons**: Nothing in particular. It is probably the best system I’ve used on the market. > > We used them for taking sales on a major music tour this summer. It helped us greatly that the terminals are simple to programme and use. Really happy overall. ----- ### "Great platform" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *1 November 2024* | Package/Freight Delivery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything all in one space and a easy to use interface > > **Cons**: Sometimes they do random checks which means temporary Ban to withdrawing money and also the fees are on the high side > > My overall experience is good, the system is easy to use and there are so many systems and interfaces ----- ### "The best website builder and point of sale" — 5.0/5 > **Lucinda** | *13 September 2024* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how I can connect it to different things such as my Facebook and Google accounts.
