Square was effortless to set up and provided me everything I needed to accept wireless payments for my mobile studio. The ability to accept card anytime, anywhere was lucrative. The fees are high cost of operation are eventually what brought me away from them. For an enterprise business it would make more sense, but not for an SMB.
Pros
Square payments is awfully intuitive, probably the most learnable and quick to use platform of them all. They feature native integrations to any phone or computer you use. The app can even take payments on iPhone without a POS system. It is a UI dream and even keeps payments engaging and fun. Since they are a big company they have multiple lines of support, and ever adding features.
Cons
Square payments is expensive, I would say the most expensive of them all. I only lasted 3 months using their service. I was roped in by the ability to accept tap to pay on my iPhone without the need for equipment. However, the fees per transaction were getting up to 2.75% each, with additional fees for instant deposit into bank account. On $10,000 I paid Square about $400 in fees out of my hard earned revenue.

I have never had any issues with Square payments and I have been using them for 5 years now for my small business. They are prompt and very easy to use.
Pros
Square payments make it easy for me to take credit card payments from customers either at my shop or on the go.
Cons
The only thing I would change about square is to lower the fees, but they are really not bad at all compared to other companies I have researched before deciding on my square.
Reasons for Switching to Square Payments
I loved the reputation square had and the fact that they had a reader that allowed me to take payments wherever I was at.- Industry: Health, Wellness & Fitness
