    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.

    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.

    Very happy with them, would definitely recommend them to other small businesses. They are affordable, user friendly, and side with their customer (the business).

    Pros

    I love this software! We have continued to still use it for payments even after getting a new CRM software.

    Cons

    Nothing, it is very user friendly and they even side with you on disputes if you have all the information available to prove your claim.

    Its user-friendly interface and straightforward payment process have made managing transactions much easier. While the fees are higher compared to other options, it’s a solid choice if you don’t have other alternatives. Its popularity and reliability make it a trustworthy option.

    Pros

    I have been using it and it has been incredibly convenient for both online and offline transactions. The platform allows me to receive payments from clients seamlessly, without the hassle of complicated options. Its user-friendly interface and straightforward payment process have made managing transactions much easier.

    Cons

    the fees are higher compared to other options, which is a significant drawback. After a few years, I switched to Venmo for a more cost-effective solution.

    I have never had any issues with Square payments and I have been using them for 5 years now for my small business. They are prompt and very easy to use.

    Pros

    Square payments make it easy for me to take credit card payments from customers either at my shop or on the go.

    Cons

    The only thing I would change about square is to lower the fees, but they are really not bad at all compared to other companies I have researched before deciding on my square.

    Overall, I would say once you get used to the quirks and learn how to navigate, it becomes more simple to use.

    Pros

    What I like most about Square payments is that it is quick and efficient once you get to know how to navigate through the system.

    Cons

    I have found that sometimes it does not retain the credit card information I have stored in it. I have also found that the customer has the ability to remove their credit card number when they know that an automatic debit won't go through. When using the mechanism for an iPad or iPhone, sometimes it lags or doesn't function properly at all.
