Considered Both Products	Block, Inc (Square) Verified User Chose Square POS In our experience, every solution we tried in the past never fully met our needs. They always came with shortcomings and / or compromises. Square POS is the first solution we have tried that offers everything our business needs and provides us with enough room for our business … Incentivized Helpful? Alvin Haruthunian Operations in Corporate at Hi-Lo Liquor Market (Retail, 11-50 employees) Chose Square POS I think Square POS was the most universally adopted by peers and had the easiest interface to learn. Costs were also competitive, so we decided on the brand we'd heard the most about. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Square POS I didn't look at others. Square POS was the best option because it is so widely recognized and a robust option. There was no start up fee. Just the credit card processing fees that they accept. We do also use apple pay and venmo for business, but these are set up to supplement … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Square POS Square POS is easier to use and more efficient in a general sense, but the other products I've used can also be better suited for different types of events (such as an auction, where they link up to and integrate into the other software you are using). The Square mobile device … Incentivized Helpful? Sura Hart Advisor in Corporate at The Ivy Plus Society (Events Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Square POS Square POS is just the easiest to use and therefore the easiest to onboard new users to. I'd also like to point out, that if you're missing or lost one of the readers it's so easy to buy one at an Apple store or even other merchants like T-mobile or Verizon. WePay had less fees … Incentivized Helpful? Samantha Forbes Executive Assistant Office Manager in Finance and Accounting at Moakler Wealth Management Inc. (Financial Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Square POS I use Stripe, Paypal and Payoneer but they don't have the actual hardware (that I am aware of). I use them to either get payments or send payments online. I use both Stripe and PayPal Payments Pro on my websites and Payoneer to recieve pay from contracts for work I do. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Square POS Square was chosen over Stripe.com as it was much easier to set up out of the box. Stripe was geared toward larger organizations. Incentivized Helpful? Mithil Patel Digital Marketing in Marketing at Welcomemat (Consumer Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Square POS Square was the most recognized platform out there and I decided to go with them because of the brand and marketing I was targeted with as a business owner. Also, Square POS was the only tool with multi-factor security and integrated with a lot of other tools that I use for the … Incentivized Helpful? Samantha Crawford Owner in Professional Services at All Occasion Photography (Photography, 1-10 employees) Chose Square POS Square and paypal are very similar, both work well and are trustworthy.

Heide Rembold Founder in Marketing at Juniper Consulting (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Square POS Square is what I’m most used to and seems to be great for the cross between invoices, single sale items, and things in between. In comparison to Clover, I probably like them equally. In comparison to Honey Book, I appreciate the ease of setting Square up for as few sales a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Square POS Used Payal swipe card, doesn't have options for tips, and had a monthly fee at the time. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Square POS We only used Square POS while we were getting set up with Authorize.Net. It isn't as flashy or recognized by the general public, but in our industry, that isn't a priority. We do very large transactions so the higher rates and fees from Square add up insanely quickly making the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Square POS We moved to Square POS from ShopKeep after using ShopKeep for several years because Square integrated more seamlessly with our HR package (Homebase, owned by Square) and our various banking providers. In addition, at the time ShopKeep required us to have a third-party payment … Incentivized Helpful? Nathan Sichilongo Regional Manager in Marketing at Natina Consulting (Consumer Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Square POS As mentioned we wanted a solution that fit the bill of our needs and one of the solutions we had looked at was Loyverse. While it offered modularity and was customizable to different industries, we ultimately chose Square POS because we felt the learning curve would not be as … Incentivized Helpful? Ryan Connolly President in Corporate at Red Ape Media (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Square POS Square has been the easiest to setup and easiest to use in comparison to others I've tried. Stripe is more complicated. As well, other systems that I've had experience with through client projects tend to be more "clunky" and less intuitive. I feel like Square is doing a … Incentivized Helpful? Yvonne Graber Founder/President in Sales at TravelEyez (Apparel & Fashion, 1-10 employees) Chose Square POS I have found Square to be quite reliable and easy to use. The reports that Square has to offer where you can check your sales daily, weekly, or monthly is also a positive perk. The feature that you can create an invoice or estimate on the spot and email or text it helps to … Incentivized Helpful? Kristi R-C, CTS, CQT Electrician/Props/Wardrobe/Makeup Artist/Wigs in Engineering at IATSE (Performing Arts, 11-50 employees) Chose Square POS I like Square better than Pay Pal. Incentivized Helpful? Nathan Bowman Owner in Social Media at Nathan Kentucky Music (Entertainment, 1-10 employees) Chose Square POS The only other real competitor that we looked at was PayPal Here and we went with Square because the fee structure felt fairer, and because our customers were much more familiar with the Square hardware and ecosystem, rather than trying to convince them that Paypal was a viable … Incentivized Helpful? Jamaal Dickerson Certified Personal Trainer in Professional Services at Brick Bodies Fitness Services, Inc. (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 501-1000 employees) Chose Square POS Square has so many upgrades and additional features that you can customize it to whatever works best for you! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Square POS Square was a rapid deployment product that allowed minimal intervention from the Square support team allowing us to open up much sooner than anticipated. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Square POS I personally prefer Stripe and PayPal as payment options for my appointment-based coaching business. Both integrate seamlessly with my Squarespace website, my Acuity Scheduling software, and the Quickbooks Self-Employed software I use. Though Square POS is perfectly adequate, I … Incentivized Helpful? Jared Lyda Director Of Operations at Beta Upsilon Chi (Non-Profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Square POS I haven't tried any other systems. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Square POS While PayPal Here had lower fees for swiped transactions, we often had issues which could not be resolved quickly and caused us to have to invoice customers instead of take payments while on site. I prefer Square POS because it is reliable. Additionally, we may eventually … Incentivized Helpful? Ben Caplan Risk Manager, and Insurance Agent in Sales at Hummel and Plum Insurance Agency Inc. (Insurance, 11-50 employees) Chose Square POS We chose Square because the simplicity of setup and reduced fees over its competitors. We liked the ease of setting up inventory alerts, tracking and sales reports.
