I’m so grateful for this service. I use it at every festival and event I host, and it’s always reliable with quick deposits. I can’t praise it enough—highly recommend it!
Using Square as our POS has significantly boosted our sales. The system is easy to set up and maintain, with excellent reporting features and seamless e-transfers to our bank.
It’s just average. On the plus side, I can quickly transfer funds to my bank, and they offer APIs that integrate with my website. However, a major drawback is the long wait—several minutes per screen—every time I log into my Square account to check my balance or transactions. Additionally, they don’t provide SDK libraries compatible with older web browsers. This means that users with browsers that don’t support JavaScript’s async/await functions won’t be able to complete purchases using the Square API.
