Easy one stop shop > > **Cons**: I dislike the cost of the tap terminals and processing fees. > > Overall its the best and easiest option for being able to accept credit card payments without having to jump through a lot of hoops and these days people don't carry cash so in order to make sales you have to be able to accept credit cards. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Great app easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *February 26, 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the easier apps to use to pay and receive money. Great for payment processing. Customer support is great when needed. I have personally never ran into any bugs or issues. > > **Cons**: Not really much I don’t like about square everything about it is easy. I love the customer support. Someone always there to help. ----- ### "Moderate excitement" — 3.0/5 > **Jubril** | *July 29, 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple set up, flat fee rates.. even though i think the price factor adds up eventually. And oh yes\! - easier and ridiculously cheaper than traditional merchant accounts for moderate card use. > > **Cons**: Square was built to integrate unavoidably in my many ways hence has many features linked to its success so that If you’re only using Square to accept payments and ignoring its software features, you might be overpaying compared to many alternatives. > > I think the rates are high up now, cos many competitors can easily offer 1.8% processing rates as compared to Square that is still stuck in the 2.6% region ----- ### "Square Payments Review" — 5.0/5 > **Rachael** | *December 28, 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square payments are up front with their processing fees and have affordable tiers for every business. > > **Cons**: It can be hard to get in touch with tech support if it's needed, and sometimes there are connectivity issues if the internet connection or wifi is weak. ----- Page: 1 / 108\ 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
