Square Point of Sale (POS) is used by more than 2 million small businesses every day! It is flexible enough to serve every kind of business, from retailers to bakeries and delis to hairdressers.
Spendesk offers smart spend management software for companies that need efficient, scalable processes. A perfect fit for businesses from 30 to 1000 employees.
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.
Time saving, reassuring and easy to use. Really good job guys & thanks again for your help.
Seems to have different functionality on app and on the web app which can be confusing in the beginning.
Spendesk customer support is one of the best I have seen. Very friendly and available at any time to help you.
I don't like that I have no idea when the payment will go through.
Spendesk allows to automate payments & approvals for business expenses and provides great overview over who owns which transactions, establishing great accountability.
This would be one purchase request and therefore one spendesk card, but needs to allow multiple individual charges to occur.
Very smooth and user-friendly design. Custom Approval flow which is great when you go on vacations - you can really delegate the payment validation.
There's really little to dislike. It sometimes (but rarely) doesn't work on all payment systems but I know they're working on that.
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.
