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.
It is very easy to use and I have been extremely happy with X-cart 4. The customer service is absolutely the best.
It took over a month just to set-up a testing dev environment. Support is often clueless of issues and communication is very poor.
Most of our products are unique one of a kind individual items which require perfect inventory control. Cart 4 has maintained perfect in stock and out of stock records.
Localization there are few things which seems missing or I am not aware of other features.
It's easy to use and customizable. Looks good, feels nice to use and looks great on the mobile.
Now, their V5 is really poor. They also don't understand they need to support their paying users.
E-commerce functionality is very secured and xcart tech support is secured as well. Technical support is great and very polite and helpful as well as quick and excellent in service.
The bookable module in the business license version also has limited functionalities.
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.
