Square Payments

Square is perfect for mobile or online businesses.

Comments: What I like most about square payments is my business is mobile and I don't have a card reader so I can take payments from the app by simply and putting card number and accepting the payment. I also like how I invoices.

Pros:

What I like most about square payments is ease of use for mobile payments and ability to send invoices mobile.

Cons:

I don't like the processing fee. But all services have a processing fee so I don't mind that it's a little cheaper than others.

Alternatives Considered: Stripe and PayPal Zettle

Reasons for Switching to Square Payments: I chose square payments over the other one because square was the first one I used and I was used to it. Also I looked at others and compare the prices and square is a lot more affordable.

My Business LOVED Using Square Payments to Grow My Business

Comments: I used Square payments mostly for invoicing but I have been on the customer end of it and Loved it.

Pros:

I love how easy it was to use and also affordable. When my business wasn't making much, I could not afford Quickbooks and Square made doing business so much easier.

Cons:

Can not recall anything I didn't like about it. It seems it isn't as comprehensive for business accounting like Quickbooks is.

Alternatives Considered: QuickBooks Online

Reasons for Choosing Square Payments: I could not afford QuickBooks when my business wasn't making anything. I needed something that was easy to use, easy to get reports for tax reporting, etc. but also easy for my customers

Switched From: QuickBooks Desktop

Reasons for Switching to Square Payments: Cost of Square Payments was more affordable at the time

Hefty price tag for sleek features

Comments: Square was effortless to set up and provided me everything I needed to accept wireless payments for my mobile studio. The ability to accept card anytime, anywhere was lucrative. The fees are high cost of operation are eventually what brought me away from them. For an enterprise business it would make more sense, but not for an SMB.

Pros:

Square payments is awfully intuitive, probably the most learnable and quick to use platform of them all. They feature native integrations to any phone or computer you use. The app can even take payments on iPhone without a POS system. It is a UI dream and even keeps payments engaging and fun. Since they are a big company they have multiple lines of support, and ever adding features.

Cons:

Square payments is expensive, I would say the most expensive of them all. I only lasted 3 months using their service. I was roped in by the ability to accept tap to pay on my iPhone without the need for equipment. However, the fees per transaction were getting up to 2.75% each, with additional fees for instant deposit into bank account. On $10,000 I paid Square about $400 in fees out of my hard earned revenue.

Alternatives Considered: Valor Paytech, Clover and SpotOn

Reasons for Switching to Square Payments: Ease of use, attractive UI, mobile payments without equipment

Great software for the new small business

Comments: This is great software for the begginer or someone who has a wide range of people accepting payments

Pros:

Ease of use and fluidity from step to step

Cons:

The cost and time frame for disbursement of dunds

Easy way for a business to be able to accept credit card payments

Comments: Overall its the best and easiest option for being able to accept credit card payments without having to jump through a lot of hoops and these days people don't carry cash so in order to make sales you have to be able to accept credit cards.

Pros:

I like that I can use Square to accept credit card payments or my small business with out having to set up an account with one of the major credit card processing companies. Easy one stop shop

Cons:

I dislike the cost of the tap terminals and processing fees.
