If this has happended to our business it can happen to yours too. > > **Cons**: But they have witheld (illegally retained / stolen) approximately $20,000 in our operationg funds. This is niot a KYC issue, it is simply a stuff up internally at Square and yet we are still waiting on the funds. > > Horrendous. We need to pay, wages, rent and taxes. Time to come out of hiding Square. Appoint a senior case manager and return our funds immediately. ----- ### "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.

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.

I can use it to check people out, keep people engaged and communicating, process payments professionally and easily and the website was a big bonus\! I was using a different booking and checkout system before this and this one is much less complicated without all of the unnecessary bells and whistles that I was paying for and didn't even use ----- 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
