Serving resale and consignment shops
I hold many pop up events for my shop and the square is fantastic for this. Adding inventory and processing payments is fantastic.
I try Squareup.com and it takes me to my Weebly dashboard. Very confusing and frustrating.
I've been using Square for my small business for 2+ years now and have had really good success with this software. I use it daily and am very happy with it.
Probably not at fault of the application, but sometimes would have to reconnect or close/reopen if internet connection was lagging. This could have led to customer upset in speedy checkout.
Square for Retail is super easy to use and set up but surprisingly robust and packed with features. You have almost everything you need to seamlessly manage your business.
Their fees are insane, and they will close accounts without warning.
I love Square and have had a great overall experience with them. Customer service is great and there's TONS of online help if you need helping finding something or directions.
It requires internet connection, so it cannot be used is there is poor or no network/wifi or you cannot hotspot. Fees can sometimes be pricey on the business.
Not only is it super easy, functional and makes my life easy it's one of the most affordable programs out there. I have recommended it to my friend who started her won boutique store and loves it too.
The other company's "support" was a circus of incompetence, passing through a half dozen people - each one adding to the problem without providing a resolution.
My experience working with Ron is AMAZING. He is by far the best support system around and is always available to help.
I'm still looking for something I can say I'm dissatisfied with. Every time I think I may have found something, a quick call to Ron shows me that what I need has been there all along.
Absolutely WONDERFUL software. Easy to use and GREAT features.
This is difficult, because there is not much to complain about at all. There are a few very specific needs that we have for a software that this one does not do, BUT, none of the others do yet either.
Our consignors really enjoyed being about to check their daily sales using the online portal. It was also great to be able to email reports to everyone all at once.
I have a few employees that have a difficult time especially when dealing with antiques. Or an option to make a spelling correction before printing the reports.
Thomas: Hi, I'm Thomas. I'm a video producer and as far as Square goes, I would give it at five out of Five. It has been really great for us. And if you want to hear more reviews like this, just click below. Well, to be honest, we really didn't consider anything else. At the time, there just really wasn't much of an option, square was it. The reason we needed to use something like Square, why we chose Square, was because we were in a rural area at the time and we had a small business that had a number of different products that we had to quickly get through the sales process of get loaded into people's trucks and get gone. The fact that we could work remotely, we could be out in the rural area where we lived, and it was very fast and easy for people just to drive in, swipe the card, get the products, load them up and get them out, was great. We didn't have to go to a cash register, we didn't have to do anything complicated. We didn't have to mess with our computers. We could just plug the little reader into the phone, pass the card through, and it worked great. Getting started with Square was super easy. It really was just a matter of loading the app, following the prompts, plugging in the little card reader, and essentially you were ready to go once you set it up with your bank or your credit card or however you were going to use it. It probably took 10 minutes to get the whole thing set up from start to finish, and it was very easy. If you are considering using Square for business, given our experience since we really were out in the middle of nowhere and we needed something out there, if you are in a similar situation where you're going to be in a rural area or just a spot where you're not quite sure what your internet connection is going to be like, maybe go out and test to see that you have a decent internet connection. Because there were a few times where we would be in areas where the connection was spotty enough that it became a little bit problematic here and there. Usually, you'd have to swipe a card two or three times and it would go through in the bad areas, but it wasn't very often. But that's just one thing I would recommend is just, if you know where you're going to be, check and make sure that your internet connection is pretty good. Other than that, it was so easy to use.
