Coupled with the fairly easy to use system and setup, I believe Helcim is one of the best, definitley the best for the price point, which I was just informed has been removed.
I do not work with the system on a regular basis, so my own experience has been the lack of any problems or negative feedback from the people that do use it.
I required support during a few steps of setup and was always responded to quickly and with great detail to help with any challenges.
Even walking our client through each step, they'd still often make a mistake and have to start over because they'd hit the wrong button.
The application and approval process was quick and easy, had approval with 24 hours.
After taking all my information (my SIN number and all) they declined my application without referring the cause. We have a legitimate business with proper documentation.
Thank have recommended Helcim to other business owners because their service is exceptional- from the software, to support team to pricing- they cannot be beat.
Can't really think of anything that I don't like.
This is perfect for mobile on the go sales. The process is very simple and the customers love how easy it is to use.
They did start charging for additional card readers. If you had a poor or no internet connection charges could not be processes.
I love how easy it is to create items, track inventory, and that they recently lowered their transaction fees. We are a non-profit, so anywhere we can penny-pinch is a great benefit to us.
Most people will agree to the user-friendliness, however, the reviews speak a different story. Users complain a lot about bad support experience where.
I have had the best experiences with Square Point of Sale. Customer Service is amazing, and the help I have received when I needed help while in the process of helping a customer.
The fact that Square doesn't even make an effort to respond to all their negative feedback, which indicates that they acknowledge them all.
The best part is the analytics. Love how easy it is to customize the menu and make it easy to check people out.
It was a little confusing to get started because we were using a mobile device.
Michael: My name is Michael. I'm the president of a company. Today I'll be reviewing Square Point of Sale. I would give this software a three out of five. For more reviews, please click below. I started using Square Point of Sale, before that I was using paper, I was actually not using software and there had to be a better solution for cumbersome and non-sustainable use of paper. I chose Square Point of Sale because of the first price was that it was affordable to combine it with other services they have such as merchant services and also due to the scheduling, the convenience that it provided, being used in conjunction with the merchant services that they provided. Square Point of Sale was relatively easy to integrate into my business. Unfortunately, not all features that I learned with other software were available such as exporting data onto Excel. I recommend that with point of sale and with any other software that this is going to integrate and it's going to make your business run more efficiently and smoother. One reason that I really did like it is because it was very simple and basic to use. So for anyone that wants to get up and going immediately, this would be a good software to use.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
