I do a fair of online shopping, often times from small vendors and private individuals. Square allows these sellers to easily accept electronic forms of payments from buyers who they otherwise may not have been able to or would have historically may have only accepts cash or check for payment. > > **Cons**: As a consumer who has only used Square Payments for processing payments as a buyer, there is nothing that I can think of that I would consider a con of Square Payments. I have never used Square Payments as a seller though, so perhaps there may be cons associated there. > > Square Payments is cloud based point of sale system that offers both physical devices which read payment card information, and software. It also offers financial services and includes features designed to support business operations for both small and large scale businesses. Square provides e-commerce and inventory capabilities, customer appointments, payroll processing, shift scheduling, and even access to banking and business loans. ----- ### "I love square and recommend to anyone that needs a payment processor." — 5.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *December 1, 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the ease of use. The transaction fees are reasonable and in-line with standard. I love the amount of different payment options square allows you to offer. I love the Square loans that are offered when eligible. > > **Cons**: Honestly, I cant think of much that I don't like about them. If I had to say something, I would like if the small terminal was more modern looking. This, however, doesn't affect that way it operates. > > I am 100% happy with my experience with Squarer. In the rare occasion that I have needed customer support, I received it quickly. The service is reliable, and cost effective. ----- ### "I DO NOT RECOMMEND\!" — 1.0/5 > **Gabriel** | *May 27, 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I honestly can't listed any anymore. The company has fallen apart and It's heartbreaking. I can list cons. > > **Cons**: Customer service is hard to contact these days and once in contact they do absolutely nothing to resolve issues. I have been using square since 2018. I have 4 businesses that use their service. The most recent setup was in 2023 and square has taken money by forcing instant deposit fees while the account is set to manual. I reached out to have it corrected and wait 43 mins just to speak with someone who failed to fix the issue. > > Recently TERRIBLE\! Before 2023 it was great to have. Payments used to be easy. Now its like they are scamming for money. ----- ### "The Easiest Way to Start Accepting Payments" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *April 6, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square is truly "plug and play." I love that there are no monthly contracts or hidden startup fees. The interface is incredibly intuitive, and training new staff on the POS system takes minutes, not hours. The integration between the online store and physical card reader is seamless. > > **Cons**: The flat-rate transaction fees can get expensive as the business grows. I also wish it were easier to get a live human on the phone for technical support during weekend rushes. > > My experience has been very positive. It’s a reliable ecosystem that allowed me to scale from a single card reader to a full retail setup without needing a degree in finance. ----- ### "Great Product\!" — 5.0/5 > **Summer** | *December 4, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Myself and several other busnieness owners I know all love Square\! Its incredibly simple yet efficent at receiving payments. I enjoy the secure features that it has such as the needed code connected to your cell phone number in order to get into the account. I havent had any issues in the past few years of using it and am incredibly pleased. > > **Cons**: I have no issues, concerns or complaints about Square\! It worked great the past several years of using it\! > > Myself and several other friends and business friends enjoy using the Square software in our business. It makes collecting payment from customers incredibly easy and is more legit and secure than Venmo or PayPal. Allowing credit card payments opens up more potential customers from any type of business. ----- Page: 1 / 109\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/112251/square-payments-processing?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/112251/square-payments-processing) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
