A built in GPS system with retail sales taxes integrated would be incredible. > > Support staff was great, learning all of the capabilities in the beginning takes time, but well worth it. Payment processing was very good and only ran into a few situations where the wi-fi signal wasn't strong in the building we were in, disrupting service. ----- ### "Square for Retail" — 4.0/5 > **Caitlyn** | *23 December 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the ease of use and ability to learn how to use the software quickly. It was also very easy for customers to use and understand\! > > **Cons**: The customer support was not great with Square. It’s very hard to get in touch with someone, and when you do, they weren’t much help in my opinion. > > My overall experience was okay, there’s are more pros than cons, but the cons hold more value than the pros. ----- ### "Good for new business owners" — 3.0/5 > **Adashia** | *2 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: VALUE FOR MONEY - good, with square swipe adapter being free BUSINESS AND MARKETING - decent PAYMENT PROCESSING - does the job SALES - does the job > > **Cons**: LEARNING CURVE - steep in my opinion for those that enjoy customization APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING - other platforms are better > > Good for new business owners. I went away from the platform because it didn't fit my needs, so your use will be based on personal preference ----- ### "Can'do it without Square for Reatail\!" — 5.0/5 > **Alisa** | *30 November 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square retail makes processing transactions and keeping tack of inventory so easy\! I ran for a year with a different product and it was not a good experience...I couldn't wait to come back to square for al of my inventory and sales needs.

I was using two other paid apps along with Square. Now, it transfers all my data and spreadsheets straight to the accountant. It's super easy to use, AI can track my daily sale with a simple ask AI how are my stats today vs last year at this time. > > **Cons**: At first, just getting used to all the new tools.
