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. ----- ### "A great Point of Sale system" — 5.0/5 > **Kristy** | *20 April 2026* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square point of sale is a very simple system to use. 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 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\! ----- ### "Small business must have" — 4.0/5 > **Aireanne** | *17 November 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like how user friendly it is to use and the app works great. We were able to set up an account quickly and start processing right away. > > **Cons**: I wish there was a way to edit invoices once the guest pays. Like adding an address or a start time for an event . > > We’ve enjoyed having square point of sale. We switched over from a competitor and have found it to be a great tool for our business ----- ### "Square Point of Sale works for day-to-day work with Square Point of —" — 4.0/5 > **christopher** | *14 August 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: In the months we have been using it day to day I have used Square Point of Sale almost every working day for day-to-day work with Square Point of Sale. Having more than one way for a client to fund the payment means we are not stuck when someone refuses to create a new account. Contractor payouts that we used to batch on Mondays now go out the same afternoon we approve the hours. Notifications are noisy on a busy day, but they are reliable — I would rather clear a few extras than miss a failed send. > > **Cons**: Support replies have been fine when we have written in, just not fast enough for a payment that is stuck at 4:50 p. M. On a payday. Instant-transfer fees add up on weeks we need the cash the same day instead of waiting on the standard deposit. It has not stopped us from using it; it just adds a few extra steps. > > I use Square Point of Sale as a current, working tool for day-to-day work with Square Point of Sale, not as a trial I dipped into last year. Friday reconciliation that used to take the better part of an hour now lands in about fifteen minutes. I would not skip the downsides. Support replies have been fine when we have written in, just not fast enough for a payment that is stuck at 4:50 p. M. On a payday. Taken together, it is a fit for how we actually work week to week. ----- 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
