Personalized, composable B2B and B2C ecommerce platform for mid-market and enterprise businesses.
The POS, mobile and website it is a GREAT value for the cost. I also love that the software is continually improved upon to make the systems even more seamless.
Glitchy product- Horrible support. Ironically the free version is less glitchy- the more you try to use the extra features the more problems there are.
This is an awesome product for small start-up businesses. You can do a ton with the free plan and the customer service has always been super helpful in my experience.
Poor detail in daily funds transfers to Quickbooks Online. Not having the option of our customers being searchable by "company" as we sell wholesale quite a bit.
I love the ability to check out a client and book a client within the same app. I love that I can Access transactions and reports right from my phone.
Occasionally I have connectivity issues. If you don't have a chip reader, sometimes it's difficult because a lot of cards are starting to be chip only.
Square is great at on-the-go ordering and managing. I love the simplicity of the app and the features it comes with for balancing receipts and metrics.
The new fee structure has been more expensive for our business since we have smaller charges.
For accuracy in inventory management, Adobe Commerce is the most efficient and reliable solution. I am impressed by the amazing capabilities of Adobe Commerce.
If your admin set you up incorrectly, you may be limited in your actions. Older versions are a little more confusing.
I liked that it was free to download, you cannot argue that price. I had heard from a colleague that they loved the platform and the community, so I figured it was worth a try.
It is a frequently used platform and always vulnerable to attacks. As a result, both in-house and outsourced IT teams must perform regular security updates.
This is the best open-source e-commerce platform that allows you to add beautiful and stunning themes for your website, So you can build a beautiful e-commerce website.
This was very stressful, and was the reason for which my team dumped it. Expensive themes: Magento is not as widely used as some other ecommerce CMSs.
Great advantage of Magenta is it being self-hosted service, meaning you have full control over your store and it fully belongs to you. You can not have this flexibility with Shopify and if they do.
Awkward and lacking search features in back end. Reporting functions are difficult to use.
Rachel: My name's Rachel, and I'm an Equine Sports Therapist. I've been using Square Online and it has a full five star rating for me. So previously to using Square Online, I was emailing invoices directly to clients, which then required some wait time and required me to spend time at the end of my days to create the invoices for them, then send them off, and it was very cumbersome and took a lot of time out of my day to send off the invoices. I chose Square Online because of its convenience, because I was able to use it on my phone through the app, or even on my laptop in between clients. And really quickly send off invoices, receive payment, and track all of my expenses and all of my incoming and out-coming payments. Getting started with Square was super easy for me. I was able to just input my services and items that I would be regularly charging my clients. And using the app and my computer, I was able to insert everything very quickly and be up and running to invoice my clients within a day. I highly recommend Square Online for anyone who's considering it. Anyone who has a fast-paced business and needs to be able to keep up with all of their invoicing and all of their payments on the fly, it is really helpful for that.
Steve: Hello, my name is Steve. I work for an IT company as a marketer, and I rate this software five out of five. Previously, not our company ourselves, but some of our customers, we were actually assisting them with Shopify. And as they continued to grow large scale, talking about maybe 10,000 orders or more, they started having limitations with the software. So an alternative was to transition over to Adobe Creative, and that really helped them to expand on a larger basis. The reason we decided to switch over to Adobe Commerce was that our customers, as they continued to scale, they really wanted to basically bring everything more in-house so that they weren't using third party tools, especially on the license side of things. So by using Adobe Commerce, we were able to help transition them a lot smoother and that they were able to use that as part of their expansion as they continue to grow. The onboarding integration side of things was actually very simple. The transition for exporting and importing, especially from a third party tool, was really smooth. We had a couple of hiccups, but aside from that, it was a lot smoother than we've previously used for other third party tools. My personal recommendations would be to just jump on it, give it a try, and you'll actually see how smooth the process is. There's a lot of documentation that was very helpful for us moving forward. And it's probably a good opportunity to start thinking about transitioning if you're seeing a lot of growth early on.
