Square Payments: Reliable & Inexpensive

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Square Payments from other similar products?

Square matches other credit card payment programs, never has downtime, is easy to use, and provides simple reporting solutions plus easy exports. There are often new features like customizing receipts or banking services, but the core product is fantastic and customers aren't constantly pitched about upgrading (looking at you, Intuit). We've used this program for years and have processed hundreds of thousands of dollars with them. It's an easy solution that we heartily recommend.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The reliability is unsurpassed. Square Payments is easy to set up. Even the virtual terminal program is much easier to use than competing products.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There isn't really anything I dislike about Square Payments. I've rarely had to contact them about anything, and when I do, everything is handled quickly and politely. In all honesty, the most interaction we've had with Square was during the pandemic when they pitched PPP loans, and that's understandable.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Set up a basic payment solution before integrating. You'll probably fall in love with the platform's ease of use and be willing to tackle any POS or accounting system integrations.

  • Continually Improving Product
