A godsend for the restaurant industry.
Our customer used to sell physical gift cards through Costco and saw tens of thousands of dollars of cashflow and business through that channel. Covid 19 killed his physical gift card business. Not only did Square come to the rescue, it made online purchase a snap with their web portal and email fulfillment.
We were able to generate tens of thousands of dollars in gift card sales and put the whole process into play within minutes. It was literally a money machine during the Christmas Season.
Pros
We were able to implement a digital gift card program for our restaurant clients in minutes. We don't use Square for regular in-person credit card processing at all we simply set up the online digital gift cards in the weeks leading up to Christmas and generated tens of thousands of dollars in cash-flow for the client and guaranteed business in the weeks that would follow our Covid-19 holiday lockdown.
It is so fast and easy every consumer facing company should do it. Your customer gets their digital gift card immediately and the business gets cash in about 48 hours. They make it super-simple to track the cards and redeem outside of your POS and conventional payment processing system.
It doesn't matter who you use for your payment processing. It is simple and fast to add Square just for their digital gift cards.
Cons
Wish I had discovered how easy implementing a gift card program was sooner. There are no Cons as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't matter what POS or payment processor you use now. There is room to add Square for gift cards to any operation.
The percentage they charge for payment processing is twice what the mainstream processors charge, but there is ZERO cost associated with selling or redeeming the gift card so for many companies it works out to be much cheaper than other gift card programs.

Easy way to increase sales.
This was nice and helpful to be able to add online orders to our business
Pros
Pretty easy to use. Love having my library easily integrated
Cons
Could be a little more customizable for businesses. Some features are on square online but not other parts of square - they are good features but I would like to be able to adjust them in other places too (like the order of how modifiers show up on the register). Also - this one is huge - there really needs to be a better way to make sure orders are seen/accepted by employees! We ended up adding a motion sensor to the top so that it makes a sound loud enough when an order comes in.

Square Online - Not ready for Prime Time - beware
Poor. My group converted their data to POS, then asked me to fit that into Square Online. Its nearly impossible to take a complex ecommerce structure and shove it into this simple, not ready for primetime, web tool.
Square bought Weebly, as far as I know, but they did not deploy all the Weebly web dev. tools to Square Online.
Online help is virtually useless for anything more complex than how to link a single image or create a simple product record. And when you do find a hit in online help, its in the Weebly community and doesn't apply to Square Online.
Pros
1. Integrates with POS.
2. Category creation is easy.
Cons
Terrible set of features for a business with > 100 products
1. If you set products up with Variations (think Red/Blue/Green shirts) you cannot archive a variation if its no longer available.
2. There is no import/export of images. All images must be manually uploaded and their meta data entered manually.
3. You cannot split an item (product) that has variations, into two products via import/export should the need arise. Get it right the first time or you are sunk. The only way is to duplicate a record and manually delete the variations from the two records manually.
4. Tech support is terrible. First they will get into the retail vs Web side of the house discussion, then once you get the right person, they never seem to know what features are or how to solve problems.
5. All variations must share the same description. Poor design.
6. You cannot launch a Coming Soon page without publishing the site first. This means you create a coming soon page as your home page, then you have to deactivate the nav, create other pages and sections, publish them and then turn the nav. on to test, then turn it off again.
7. You cannot create links to simple attached documents like PDF's (catalogs, help documents for your products etc.)
8. You cannot build an HTML block on a page to craft specific messages.
9. You cannot change your theme once the site is created. To do so, you have to reset the site and loose all your work.
10. The product design is to have a Shop ALL product page as the default. Totally impractical for large inventory retailers that would have traditional category trees.

Square Online - A great system for small businesses
Very good, I would highly recommend it. Some improvements required but then like most systems its a continual evolution.
Pros
Ease of setup and close integration with other Square Products
Cons
Its lost a lot of flexibility in terms of design, but this is improving. Also there is not a lot of basic marketing functionality easily available like customer acquisition tools, cross selling and upselling functionality.

Square online makes my website easy to update.
Our website looks great, runs well and gives a great impression to our guests. Combining the ease of use with the complete integration into our Square POS systems makes updating automatic.
Pros
Square Online is easy and simple to use. We only had two of us on staff that learned Wordpress to keep our old site up and running. Now, several people on staff can access and update our website, as needed. Our site looks great, and we receive compliments about it all the time.
Cons
Some specific functions (such as menu bar scroll time) are not customizable, but work as expected.

Great usable product, room for improvement.
It has been a good driver of revenue for our business, but I just often feel spots where I wish it was better and more customizable.
Pros
Lots of ability to add and customize products. It has been very successful for our lunch and bakery business.
Cons
There are some certain customizable pieces that just aren't there. The square online site can't be customized with pictures and images. It's very difficult to have different fulfillment times for different products. It would be great to have the ability to set different fulfillment times for various square online categories.

Great for demand, service fees are alot
For organizations that offer services, we require a credit card method of payment, which is why square works well for us. Ideally, the fees would be less. Or even if Square knows we are a non-profit organization, there would be a less expensive fee option. It is however a great system to create invoices and send for payment.
Pros
It is great to be able to use Square to offer a credit card payment option for our clients.
Cons
It is not easy to navigate through the Square dashboard. There are so many things you can do. I often have to go to help or google to figure out how to make something work, for example a 'buy now button.'

I enjoy square I’ve been a member with them since 2017 and will continue to do so I just purchased a square stand for an iPad and will purchase a register to have an easier layout when making transactions.
Pros
I enjoy using Square because it is so easy and user-friendly. My employees just get right on it no need to show them 1 million times because it is that simple I enjoy it and I love to recommend other people to use it as well it’s also inexpensive and I enjoy it because it just takes some money right out so I don’t have to worry about paying no fees at the end of the month it’s already done
Cons
The least I like is how my reader disconnects but it’s fine I’ll just reconnected every day that’s the only downside

Square Online Review
Very happy overall with ease of use. Additional upgrades and additional are appreciated.
Pros
Easy to use, inexpensive, integrates with square store easily.
Cons
Website templates are limited and square online stores start to all look similar. Offering discounts with multiple purchased items without using a coupon is not available. Having automatic shipping discounts without using a coupon is not available. Would like automatic discounts and be able to offer free shipping when minimum orders are met. Have to be careful about generating a shipping label because you only get one chance. If a shipment requires two or more labels, can only generate through square online via shippo. Then have to go to shippo to generate additional labels. That is a hassle.

Square Online Exceeds Expectations
Square online continues to impress me. The website looks good and is easy for a customer to use. I don't have to spend a fortune on it and I don't have to be tech savvy!
Pros
I love that everything is integrated! 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.
Cons
Amazingly, the con is also all of the integration. It took me several phone calls to figure out how I could allow a 3rd party to help me with the SEO aspect without giving them the keys to the ship! I did finally reach someone that helped me with that but in the end, I decided that putting so much thought into SEO is slightly overrated and I decided to just utilize the default and write great descriptions in the first place.

Square Is The Perfect Site For Publishing
I have used Square almost from the moment I founded our press. It is easy to navigate, easy for a web master to add or subtract books, and so easy for our readers to purchase a book or even many books at one time. The site feels very safe to both us and to our purchasers. I also particularly like how quickly payments come in and are clear. I gave up other sites when I began to employ Square. I can't begin to say how very happy I have been with Square in infinite ways!
Pros
In the world of publishing, there are countless ways to access or sell books and magazines. Square makes it easy to place a book up for sale on our site, with full description. Too, the purchasers are able to access the book for purchase even if they are not very familiar with computers or purchase sites.
Cons
It might be a tad easier to work with a template that allows for some changes editorially. For example, there is not a Free Shipping button.

Easy to Use for Professional New Small Businesses
Overall, I’ve been pleased with my experience with Square. I was glad to be able to re-negotiate my processing fee earlier this year, and the online store was really helpful during the beginning of the pandemic.
Pros
My business features both a retail store and a distribution branch, and being able to manage both areas of my business through Square has been wonderfully helpful, especially during my first year of business. The user interface is intuitive and easy-to-use for my staff, and adding and deleting items from the sale screen is quick and easy. Keeping my distribution items separately categorized and off of the retail display makes managing both parts of my business even easier.
Cons
I’ve had some issues with taxes being calculated properly, as I have tax applied to some items and not others. When I calculate what this should be on my own versus what Square says, the numbers haven’t always matched up. Also, getting photos to appear on the same item across devices (Square register, Square app, Square online) hasn’t always worked and has required me to upload the image for a second time or to change the image format.

Business Management all in one place!
Love that I can track all inventory in my brick and mortar and online all in one place without extra work. It all happens in the background, and I can focus on other areas of business. Recently added employees and began using payroll. Makes life so simple to track employee hours, maintain schedules, and complete payroll with just a few clicks. It even reminds me to complete my payroll, which I am sure my employees appreciate.
Pros
As a small retail business that is growing rapidly, Square has given me the ability to start with basics and expand as my business has grown. Love that I can manage inventory, marketing, payroll, my online store and loyalty program all in one place. Such a time-saver.
Cons
The online store features have continued to grow this past year, but even being fairly knowledgeable about web design, it has taken some time to find ways to add bells and whistles that take the website to a more professional level.

Tool built for small business owners who need a simple, effective system
Overall my experience with Square Online has been really positive. It's made my business more stream lined and professional and helped me stay organized and on top of customer management and invoicing.
Pros
I have been using Square online to run my small business for eight months now and it has been extremely helpful. I use it to input all of my customers information and quickly and easily build out invoices for them, send invoices, accept payments and send customers receipts. I run a service-based business where I have to travel to and from my clients, Square has allowed me to set up and use their item catalogue so that I can bill all of my services on the fly and send to my customers even while I'm out of the office on my mobile device. It allows my customers to make payments to me easily, so I don't even have to have a part in the payment processing and takes out one more step for me as I am travelling to the next client.
Cons
I wish that it had a little bit more customization and design for my invoices and would allow me to personalize the messages it sends to my customers. I'd like to have more of my social media highlighted on the invoices and ways for my customers to connect with me more. I also which that Square was a little more tailored to service based businesses, as the items list always shows as an inventory item and asks about shipping, which is not something I need for my business and I wish I could tailor the experience to my service based business better.

Square Online from a Salon's Perspective: A Mixed Bag
Pros
Square Online has been a boon for our salon's transaction management and e-commerce. Its user-friendly interface allowed us to quickly adapt, facilitating smooth credit card payments for our customers. The platform's robust analytics have been key in overseeing profits and tax, offering clear insights that guide our business decisions. Additionally, the seamless integration with Square's ecosystem streamlines operations, from inventory management to customer payments, enhancing overall efficiency and the customer payment experience.
Cons
However, Square Online isn't without its drawbacks. Customization of the online store is somewhat limited, posing challenges for salons looking to create a unique online presence. While it performs well for basic e-commerce needs, those requiring deeper customization or unique branding might find it lacking.

I love that I can add all my products, edit my website, connect my bank account, and do so much, and the price is wonderful.

Square helped my business!
Pros
What I like most about Square online is it is beyond user friendly for me and my customers. It is a widely accepted software and my customers were able to pay simply by clicking on a link or invoice. Square also has donation links. This came in handy when I was raising money. Once I am paid, Square offers the option to be paid instantly or later that day via their card and checking account feature.
Cons
There was a bit of delay with payments in order to verify my identity. Once I submitted all required documents, funds were released.

All Square, but will Shop-If-I have a need/opportunity to try a different provider 😉
Overall, each individual component part is quite strong. And several of them do work quite well together when aligned with the more common use cases (e.g. accepting bookings for a hairstylist followed by in-person payments, or estimates and invoice management for a service business). However, as you start layering in additional complexity or are looking at less common needs/applications, the simplicity that is arguably its core selling feature in the beginning ends up working against it as you start to feel like you've got "lots of different things, in lots of different places, and some of it is repetitive but isn't always, and some of it syncs automatically but sometimes not, and........" well... you get the drift.
Pros
Overall, they offer a robust service suite with sleek POS tools, a clean end-user UI, strong inventory management, and offer a strong, trusted brand name in the market.
Cons
I get the impression Square is best suited for rather "single-dimensional" businesses -- when you start to get into more dynamic and multi-faceted distribution channels, order types, variable inventory and order process flows, etc., it starts to feel a bit clunky.

Pros

Cons
Serious bug on shipping profile setting. the program is written without a logical mindset. and problem was first brought up in community forum in 2021!!A Custom shipping profile allows Single Ship rate setting. And the insanity is, Square won't permit you to assign the product to multiple custom profiles. So your product is restricted to one custom profile where you can set one or multiple destinations, but with one ONE SINGLE ship rate allowed. The one who wrote the program does not have a sound mental state. The management at Square also have serious problem to allow the issue remain over 24 months.Live Chat agent confirmed with me today Sept 30, 2023, the feature I want is currently not available with Square OnlineWARNING TO WHO MAY BE INSTERESTED TO USE SQUARE ONLINESTay away unless they fix the problem !!

Unauthorized charges to my clients - Apparently no big deal to Square.
I have been with Square for several months now and hoped to have them handling all the payment processing for the three businesses my wife and I own. After these recent encounters with "support", however, I'm seriously wondering whether that is a good idea.
Pros
Square has an excellent user interface (Dashboard) and all the services I need ... I really like it when all is going smoothly. But I take double-charging my clients very seriously and apparently Square doesn't.
Cons
One of my websites is an information portal that is paid for by monthly subscription. I used a Wordpress plugin that was not the best solution for interacting with Square and came to the conclusion I needed to change ... so I Deactivated the software on my site and revoked the software's authorization (ability to connect) in my Square account. A month later, charges are still being processed for subscriptions made through the old software, so my clients are now being double-billed.I have now called twice about how to stop this. In both calls I was transferred multiple times (spoke to at least five people in each call). When I finally got to someone who was willing to try to address this, both individuals came to the conclusion that there was nothing they could do to stop the unauthorized charges, and both promised me that someone who doesn't take calls would get back to me.Nobody has ever followed up after either of these calls.

I least liked the layout of square, but overall it is a great product.

Plenty of bang for the buck
Great for start-ups or for keeping your business small scale. Problem-solving is available online but you may have to be patient & keep searching. You can grow your business with Square but the website integration was not ideal for my boutique fitness studio.
Pros
Clients could access & view plan options, as well as, request appointment times. I could send invoices & waiver contracts with my signature for clients to sign before appointments. Financial analytics as well.
Cons
Probably my own fault but not a real website & not searchable. Great for getting started on a small scale. Problem-solving took lots of time, I found answers but it was never easy to find them.

Great order management application
Pros
I like that square offers different other features and applications that work with all the other square products. Square is also very easy to use and maintain.
Cons
Sometimes I think that square is physically too small or not sturdy enough.

Square for Church Donations
Tracking membership donations is vital to our church.
Pros
The software allows instant tracking of church donations by member, recording amount of donation, who donated, and when.
Cons
Sometimes the church members do not know how to log on correctly. When this happens, the Ipad that we use is hard to get back to normal.

Great for my small business
Pros
Square Online is a great option because of its ease of use and excellent support team. The templates were designed to look good on both desktop and mobile devices. It's very modern and intuitive. It's very easy to set up and learn. It's good that Square Retail catalog is integrated with it.
Cons
I would love to be able to copy design elements from one page to another. The template layout is very restrictive. It would be nice to be able to fully personalize. I would like the item description to sync with Square Retail.

Very Useful and Quick to Set Up
It was a very great tool to have a business start up. When I decide to start my meditation business again in the future, I will definitely choose square.
Pros
I used the card reader in person and it was very useful. I didn't have the need for buying any other items. My remote clients would pay by entering their card as well, which was very simple. I have been a customer of many businesses that have used square and have always been happy when seeing it in other places.
Cons
Their website features weren't very easy to set up. It really wasn't a big issue because of so many sites that let you create your own websites for free.
