		Pros from Real Users Pros I love Square, well for the time I used it for. I sold Lularoe and this was so nice to be able to use during shows. People could just come up, buy what they want with the card reader and then all of the receipts were automatically compiled at the end and I was good to go. Very easy to use and they have great point of sale systems to be able to set up in a retail or business establishment.
