Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros The ease of use along with the platform providing reputation management and the ability to reply to reviews instantly has increased my pet sitting business exponentially. One of my colleagues is a dog grooming salon, they are using SpotOn internet feature for her guests and shared that it's s great way to capture the data of their clients furthering their business reach! Cons As a busy business owner they give you the opportunity to post awesome things on your social media with their platform, however, I almost wish that I could pay somebody in their organization to do that :-) I posted a Veterans Day special and the response from my existing clients was overwhelming!		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.
