Opinones de Square for Retail

Worked great even in a rural area.

Great for entrepreneurs
Comentarios: It is very easy to use and convenient for my customers
Puntos a favor:
The ease of use for this product is amazing. I love how you can make a sale with the virtual terminal by either swiping a card or sending an invoice.
Contras:
The fees per use can be cumbersome. However all pay portals have some sort of fee to use their product.

Online Ordering through Retail
Comentarios: Overall great, we use Square throughout our business and it covers our bases. A few flaws that can get frustrating here and there in the matter of being able to customize things to do exactly what we need it to be, but overall it's pretty good!
Puntos a favor:
We specifically use Square for Restaurants POS system for our taproom system, which also ties into our mobile payments, but we do use Square for Retail as the basis for our online ordering page through Wix, as it works best for hosting that site for orders. It works great, we can track inventory and orders and such, it does what we need it to do!
Contras:
Honestly, the only thing I wish was different was that we didn't have to use Retail and could just use Restaurants for our online ordering, but the retails works for it better and it functions so it's fine.

Web seller: buyer beware. This takes forever to set up
Comentarios: Customer support is very good and they did answer basic questions about setting up the site. Great on refunds.
Puntos a favor:
Once its set up, it performs well. Aesthetically its great but only because I spend well over 20 hours editing to make up for the lack of user friendliness in positioning text and photos on the site.
Contras:
This took way too many hours to set up. Its not intuitive. Its wireframes are clunky. The final product looks good but I could have paid a coder less to develop a site from scratch versus how much time it took to build a simple ecomm website with Square. Never again!
Convenient, easy to use POS for small business
Comentarios: Overall, Square has simplified our POS system and with its easy to use reporting, we are able to manage our books quicker and more accurately.
Puntos a favor:
The ability to take Square from our main location, to mobile and take payment anywhere
Contras:
Connectivity issues with WIFI occasionally

Square Retail works great but the customer service is terrible
Comentarios: Overall it has been a great tool and finding a better solution has been tough. I have checked numerous POS systems and I end up just staying with square. I wish they would update there new register system like the retail app. I also wish they had better customer service. Without fail every time I have contacted square they say they will have to look further into the situation and contact me back but they never do. It has happen every time I have contacted square.
Puntos a favor:
The software is great to do all transactions, returns and exchanges. I like the fact that it prints a barcode at the bottom of the receipt so when a customer comes back for a return we just scan the bottom of the receipt and the transaction pops right up.
Contras:
I end up getting the new square register in hope that it would act just like the retail app for the Ipad. The fact is that square won't update the new register. It has no exchange option like the Ipad app does and you end up needing to set up both the Ipad and register. Square has known about this issue for years now. You can see the complaints on the square forum page. Square also does not have a spot for barcodes so you end up having to put your barcodes in the sku spots. The loyalty point system also has some problems. When you do a return it doesn't automatically take points back from the customer account.

Easy Sales and Storefeont
Comentarios: I was the one assisting a friend with setting up her storefront while working on mine as well. Through mine I invoiced to accept payment for items on hand or orders personally placed with me.
Puntos a favor:
User friendly platform to load your storefront with products. Present templates that are also customizable to your liking. Integration of an inventory model to track what you have left on hand.
Contras:
Have a plan for your products of offering multiple size and/or color options before entering on the site. It's much harder to edit and change the categories once it's set. Know what your page intent is as well ahead of schedule.
Easy to Use / Track Sales!
Comentarios: Overall it is easy for all of our team members to use!
Puntos a favor:
We use square daily to keep track of sold items / integrate inventory / keep track of customers purchases.
Contras:
We do not have any cons that come to mind!
Perfect On-the-Go Payment Solution!
Comentarios: When I first began using Square, it was simply for fundraisers. My husband and I would participate in events, and we would allow patrons to make donations to the charity we were fundraising for. Now, as I begin designing my online store for home decor and crafts that I sell, there was no guessing on where I would have my store set up. Square has truly made it that easy to work with, that I suggest using them to everyone I know!
Puntos a favor:
I absolutely LOVE the ease of use of Square! The app allows you to literally set up your shop in mere minutes, and then allows you to input your products with prices for an easy tap to add it to your customer's cart. I especially love the Square business card that holds all my funds, which makes keeping business money separate from family funds so much easier!
Contras:
I honestly cannot think of anything that I do not love about this software. It is designed in a way that allows even the least techy person to set up their store and products, and go through a checkout seamlessly.

Best POS for a small non-profit or business
Comentarios: Great fast point of sale software that does what it does very well.
Puntos a favor:
This software provides the best tools for managing sales on a small scale. It is fast, easy to use,and full featured.
Contras:
Honestly, this is one of the least expensive options out there but it would be nice to not lose the service charges from our income.
Easy, Fast and Convenient, User Friendly!
Comentarios: Overall, this is a good program to use when you need convenience. When using square, in this day and age, fast, easy and quick are what is needed in today's society, and this program comes to the rescue. It is a great product, and I would recommend it to anyone that needs to buy / sell and get paid fast!
Puntos a favor:
This seems like the best program for small businesses. The program offers a very low credit card fee of 2.6%, from what I have noticed. The program also offers SKU and GTIN codes to be scanned successfully. You can have unlimited items in your inventory which makes this convenient for the user and the customer, especially when you can do next day transfers as well!
Contras:
Square does not work on Android platforms for the Free or Retail Plus versions. But it does on the Square POS version. Only thing, if you do not have the physical card, it seems to have a higher transaction fee rate.
Perfect for Business on the Go
Puntos a favor:
Easy to understand and user friendly. Clients recognize the brand and are secure and confident in making mobile payments. It builds instant credibilty with the consumer.
Contras:
Fees of course, and deposit timing is sometimes delayed.
Great allied for Retail Business
Puntos a favor:
While keeping operation and inventory counts synced seems difficult, Square for Retail delivers a great experience
Contras:
Maybe some discount when purchasing annual licenses would be appreciated, but overall the performance and ease of use is great
First time Square user
Comentarios: Work for a company that only exists for 2 months of the year (winter seasonal), and was very easy to have people trained on it in a short period of time. Easy for customers to use online
Puntos a favor:
Use this product for just 6 weeks, was very very easy to learn and had people using it that were generally not good at computers. They also had an easy time using it. Easy to change product description at one location or across all locations. Really enjoyed the reports, easy to manipulate
Contras:
Really really challenging to use on a ipad for scheduling and adjusting people's time cards. Was very slow and would regularly crash. (This was specific for this app, all other functions on the ipad worked fine and quickly). Online orders, loved that when they came through you could update the progressed. HATED that you could not undo it. Would like to see the function that you could go forward and backwards, not just forwards. Online orders - customers would enter address online and it would go to the shop "closest" to their location. However this was closest as the crow flies, not closest for driving directions. Would love to see it function off of driving directions. Frequently, a people would make a curbside order and they would end up going to the second or third closest location to where they lived due to this

One Stop, Square for Retail
Comentarios: Auditing inventory is so easy, you can set alerts to remind you when stock gets low. I can collect money anywhere I am and online. This gets deposited in my bank account within 24 hours usually. The reports are easy for anyone to understand. I can also get a vendor sales report so I can see which of my vendors have the hottest selling items.
Puntos a favor:
I love that I do not need any other applications to manage my payments and inventory. I have everything at my finger tips with this application.
Contras:
I know some people complain about the service charges. 2.6% plus $.10 per transaction at the time of this review.

Let Square free You
Comentarios: I Get paid without having to run around the office
Puntos a favor:
I love that I can use my Square terminal anywhere. Whether I am at an event or in the back room, I can get paid.
Contras:
I do find that sometimes the payouts can be confusing

Square Keeps us operating every single day
Comentarios: I have been happy over-all with square as they seem to be the leader at least in my industry and have used them even longer as a guitar teacher and studio owner.
Puntos a favor:
It is easy to set up and use. It is affordable and the customers never have a problem with it.
Contras:
I wish they took bitcoin and the square terminal has quite a few quirks that should be worked out before charging that much.
A great tool for any small business
Puntos a favor:
Both interfaces are very easy to use. There are many features to make your business look professional, like sending receipts via email and text and asking for feedback after a transaction. Adding line items is very easy, which is convenient for businesses that are changing prices or items frequently.
Contras:
As much as I love this product it could definitely still use some tweaking. The biggest complaint is the fact that you are forced to buy multiple card readers for your iPad because they stop reading cards after a while which subsequently forces you to enter the card manually which you are then charged more money for.
Great Cost Effective System for Small Business Use
Comentarios: We love this system and have had no issues. We've been using it for about 4 years and it has met every need, saving us time, and is cost-effective for the features it provides.
Puntos a favor:
The ease of implementation of the square system was excellent. Once implemented, managing and controlling items and inventory is simple and efficient. The POS system is easy to manage and use, easy to train our staff on, and customizable for all of our needs. The reporting system gives us all the information we need to summarize our sales data, run sales tax reports, and more.
Contras:
There is not much to not like. For our small business the software works wonderfully, if we had a large variety of items the POS system might get more complicated, but not for us.

One of my core software solutions
Puntos a favor:
I use Square almost daily for my coffee roasting company. Its easy to use, easy to train others to use, and easy to customize for my ever changing inventory.
Contras:
Sometimes I wish the Square app had the same functionality as the Square website. For example, invoices are easier to work with on the web vs. working with them on the app. You can't print invoices from the app, yet you can from the web interface. Just little things like that. Not huge, but minor annoyances.
Simple and easy to use
Comentarios: My experience with it has been very good. To the point that I have no need or desire to change it. I can save peoples data on file to make that easier for them. I can run necessary reports as needed. I could do more with it however we really don't have the need for it.
Puntos a favor:
I use this for 2 purposes, 1) for our synagogue's gift shop and sales 2) as an option for our members to submit their tithes and offerings. I have both the simple square reader that I can use from my iphone as well as the stabilized system that holds the ipad with the card swiper and chip reader attachment. It is just so easy to use. I also like that the funds are moved to our accounts with out me having to move it or request it to be moved. I also like that the fee is taken out first then the amount is deposited rather that the full amound being deposited and a fee taken out monthly. It just simplifies it.
Contras:
I really don't have any complaints about it. I have used it before in my personal business and recommended it for the synagogue. There was a time that you would have had to invest in a credit card machine that was much more expensive. I am glad that something like square came along.
Square Payments Processing is a good credit card processing system
Comentarios: Square is very convenient specially attending off-site events. We were able to get it up and going at any time. Other Points of Sales software is very clunky when it comes to a mobile application. Because of the versatility and ease of use, we do recommend it for small businesses.
Puntos a favor:
Square is a payment processing system with supporting systems such as Point of Sale. We initially did the trial period to determine if it meets our requirements. It was very user-friendly and easy to use. The training was easy for the staff. If we had any issues, customer support from Square was always available. Sometimes we did have a short wait, but issues were always resolved.
Contras:
Square didn't have a many features as other Point of Sales software. Reporting and analytics were pretty limited. The software did have some, but not as much as we needed. Support was available, but sometimes we had to wait to get help.
Less features than free version
Puntos a favor:
The new inventory management could have been a great feature. However, it eliminates the ability to enter inventory manually. It has the ability to process returns, however eliminates the ability to use other functions available in the free version.
Contras:
The retail version has less features than the free version. Inventory can only be uploaded and can not be entered manually. The upload feature does include field matching, so it is a very, very laborious to convert from another system. Customer service is virtually non existent and not available on the weekends. We use have two square stands in our retail store. We love the current square system and were excited about the retail version and willing to pay the fee for both registers. We are looking for a more robust inventory system and POS and were excited about continuing with square. The new Square App does not come close to other POS systems . Very disappointing. I hope square improves this software before we select an alternative.
Payments on the go!
Comentarios: Bang for buck this wins hands down and I recommend it for everyone, no more big expensive machines to carry around
Puntos a favor:
Running a hire company, receiving payments on delivery is required on a daily, the square system is amazing can keep in your pocket and works every time. build quality is important it’s been dropped a few times and still works fine, also charge life is awesome, only needs charging every few months!
Contras:
Fees, but you get fees with any eftpos option, bonus here is no monthly fee
good startup system for a new business
Comentarios: it helps my clients to speed up the accounting and inventory they need to do each week and month
Puntos a favor:
its easy to use, the ease of setting up items makes it quick to get done. The inventory tracking features are great too
Contras:
there seems to be a few redundant strokes you have to make, but other than a few of those items it works great

Square for Retail Review
Comentarios: Overall, my experience with Square has been AWESOME. it's easy to use and you can take it with you everywhere, to any events where you may be selling art and design work. I love how functional and slim it is, and how it reads most cards.
Puntos a favor:
What I like most about Square is that its easily portable so you'll always have the opportunity to make money regardless where you are, as long as you have the device to hook up to you iPad, phone, or computer. It's an awesome invention, especially if you travel for work (like artists who go on tours or go to events where they sell their art). It's design is small and the software doesn't take to long to download.
Contras:
What I like least about this software is that it freezes up on me a couple times and I had to restart my actual phone and iPad in order for it to work properly. I'm not sure why it does it, still haven't figured it out.
