I am able to use this on the go, and access it when I need to, no matter where I am. The debit card attached to the account means instant access to funds when needed. > > **Cons**: The swipe fees are in line with other payment providers, but I wished there were different levels based on total sales. Like the more you uesd it, the lower the fees. The storefront isn't as dynamic or customizable as I'd like for it to be. > > I've used this POS for over five years, and honestly, it's great. It offers a debit card tied to the account, that allows me to have instant access to funds, and if I use the transfer option, it takes one day to reach my bank account, or instant for another fee. They also offer a line of credit based on amounts processed, which is an added advantage. ----- ### "Square is a Big One\!\!" — 4.0/5 > **Alyx** | *28 January 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the fact that it’s just a well known, trusted company and also the feel, look, and overall ease of use. > > **Cons**: I think the pricing definitely could be better and have better options for people on the free plan. ----- ### "Square Payments Has Been a Major Setback for My Business" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *07 December 2025* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: None, seriously none, there are a lot better companies out there for POS. Waste of time, customer support doenst understand anything, never offering a single solution > > **Cons**: Square Payments Has Been a Major Setback for My Business Save yourself the frustration and go with any other payment processor. Square consistently disappoints and has proven to be unreliable when it matters most. > > After four months of using Square without issues, everything suddenly went downhill. Square shut down my account out of nowhere and then also shut down a second business account I had with them. No warning, no explanation that made sense, and absolutely no regard for how much this would disrupt my operations. This wasn’t just an inconvenience — it cost me time, energy, and real money. One of my customers was even charged $360 in processing fees during a period when I had an active free-processing credit. When I brought it up, Square didn’t take responsibility and didn’t fix it. They consistently failed to honour their own terms and constantly contradicted themselves. The customer service experience made everything even worse. Every interaction felt like dealing with support reps who had little understanding of Canadian business practices or the issues I was actually facing. Instead of helping, they read off scripts, dismissed my concerns, and closed inquiries without proper resolution. There was never any real support, empathy, or accountability. Having both of my accounts shut down without valid reason caused major operational delays, unexpected expenses, and hours of wasted back-and-forth. If you rely on payment processing to keep your business running smoothly, think twice. Square ended up costing me far more than they ever provided. ----- ### "One of the best device but expensive" — 5.0/5 > **Rhonda** | *21 April 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Payment Processing, ease to use, invoicing are the main things I loved about Square. How I was able to send a patient and invoice. When a patient asked to email a receipt. > > **Cons**: If Square processing fee would have not gotten so expensive we would have stayed with them. but 3% for each transaction was a little much. > > Overall Square is on the best device system I have ever worked with. I never had any issues with the device connection, customer support. ----- ### "Square POS is great\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *09 June 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software and system is extremely easy to use. As easy as using a smartphone. We can add items and adjust them with ease to make for smooth in store transactions. > > **Cons**: The only issue we are having related to the square point of sale system, is not related to the register at all. We cannot connect our receipt printer to the drawer. > > We are extremely happy with this system for our sweet shop, retail setting. The customer facing screen works flawlessly. Fees are reasonable. ----- Page: 1 / 123\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91016/square-point-of-sale?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91016/square-point-of-sale) ## 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
