No matter where I am, I always can use my Square Payments\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes I feel like my Square Payments tends to run a little slow. But all in all, that is normal for most technology. > > It has been a game changer using Square Payments. Easier for not only me but also all my customers\! I have been very pleased with my decision to use Square Payments\! ----- ### "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 product" — 5.0/5 > **Starre** | *April 2, 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very user friendly. Really like how fast it is. Better then most. The set up is so easy and payment is very easy for clients > > **Cons**: The cost is about the only downside on this system. You need a few extra items to make the process better for clients. > > I have had nothing but great service from this product. From personal to at other markets. Never had a bad experience. ----- ### "Massive Incompetence" — 1.0/5 > **Darren** | *November 1, 2024* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing, they have no accountability, no decency, and no competency whatsoever. Fools and clowns. > > **Cons**: Fraudulent chargeback by a mentally challenged thief that posted photos of his received good publicly. Provided that to Square to appeal the illegal chargeback, and they failed\! It couldn't have been easier to win, yet they force you to let them respond on your behalf and screw it up majorly, then refuse to identify the thief so you can fix it in civil court. Disgusting incompetence with no accountability. Don't end up stuck with them like me because of hardware investments, they are beyond awful and will lose your money time and time again. > > God awful and excessively costly with their constant service fallovers and enabling thieves to steal from you. ----- ### "Square gets me paid" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *January 27, 2026* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square Payments was EXTREMELY easy to set up and use. It has a cut and dry charge system and seems to be really secure as well. > > **Cons**: When it is down it is down. It was really difficult to contact anyone to get my Square up and running afterhours. ----- 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
