Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I used this to help people figure out when to come in to my shop and social distance. If the time wasn't available, the person wasn't allowed to come in. Was very helpful to try and keep everyone safe. Simple to set up and configure. Have very basic settings which lets you easily configure them. Cons Not much. Had a little trouble getting it set up to begin with but that was user error. There aren't any advanced features so if you need more they don't have them.		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.
