Payment is always sent through overnight without fail. > > **Cons**: Connectivity issues appear to be an ongoing issue, always easily resolved, but can be very annoying. Slightly more expensive than some competitors. > > Overall I find Square Point of Sale a great system. Customer support has quickly resolved any issues we have experienced. ----- ### "Square Point of Sale" — 5.0/5 > **Will** | *9 August 2025* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use- it’s very approachable for any digital native without any need for training. I set it all up on my own > > **Cons**: The integration between square Point of Sale and Xero needs a lot of work. I spent a lot of hours correcting errors > > Positive as a user, but ultimately I stopped using it because of the issues I was having with integration. ----- ### "Stopped Charging" — 1.0/5 > **Sania** | *2 August 2024* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is quite handy and fast, but then it > > **Cons**: I have a small business. I bought the square reader machine last year for around $50, in Feb 2023. After almost one year and a half, the machine does not charge and I have to keep it connected to electricity all the time. This will cost me more than its price, and if I buy it again, I will have to pay $65. It looks like I have to purchase it again, but not happy that the machine stops working properly in less than two years. ----- ### "Square Point Of Sale for my small business" — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *12 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I run a remodeling business and have used Square for all my payment processing. It is a very usefull tool\! The payments process instantly 90% of the time. Even when it's a $5,000-$10,000 payment\! The processing fees are a little higher than others, but me nor my customers mind at all. Its also encrypted and 100% safe for both parties. > > **Cons**: The only issue that I have is the delivery option is unremovable. When you accept a payment, you have to go into the system and select delivered. > > Overall, I would recommend Square for any business. Its ease of use is next level, and my customers love it\! ----- ### "Simple and Reliable Payment System with Limited Flexibility" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *23 April 2026* | Music | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square Point of Sale is highly effective for a music and content-based business that sells lessons or services, as it makes in-person and online payments simple and fast. The setup is straightforward, and it allows for smooth transactions without needing complex systems. It also integrates well with basic reporting and tracking, which helps keep business finances organized and transparent. > > **Cons**: Square Point of Sale can feel limited when it comes to deeper customization and advanced business features, especially for more complex pricing structures or memberships. Fees per transaction can also add up over time, which impacts margins for a service-based business like music coaching. Additionally, while it covers the basics well, its ecosystem can feel restrictive if you want more flexible or highly tailored business workflows. > > Square Point of Sale is a reliable and practical tool for handling payments in a music and content creation business. It makes transactions simple, fast, and easy to manage, which helps keep operations smooth when selling lessons or services. The system is easy to use and provides enough basic reporting to stay on top of income. However, it becomes less flexible when scaling or trying to implement more advanced pricing structures, and transaction fees are an ongoing consideration. Overall, it works best as a straightforward payment solution rather than a fully customizable business management system. ----- Page: 1 / 123\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/154907/square-point-of-sale?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/154907/square-point-of-sale) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
