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.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros none, can process CC's like all other processors. Nothing special. Sure, they process credit cards, great. Its their fees that suck. There. Are no pros all bad this company just robs people they have a very high rate compared to other companies if I have to write a "pro"...simple & straight forward?? In the beginning easy to open the account, the guy who help me was really nice and friendly, but when I had the problem he didn’t answer the phone or text. The interface is simplistic and straight forward. Simple to learn. It is pretty basic. There are different options for utilizing online payment transactions. Cons They scam you continuously with hidden fees. Hundreds at a time sometimes. You name it rude customer service try and steal your hard earned money and when you try to explain that they took money they just didn't listen trying to get me for $3146.46 saying they had to give a refund but all they refunded was what my customer paid You read it correctly, $35 to run a batch! Of course that was never disclosed to me over the phone when I was signing up. Next day payout? Yea right, try 3-4 business days. My terrible experience was after few days I had to process my first credit card for 420 dollar, after 3 1/2 hours driving with my customer from Newark airport to Washington DC, I spent lots money in gas and tolls, the next day they closed my account and didn’t pay, I called them and told me, I need to way for 180 day to deposit the money in my account!!! There are no safeguarding algorithms to prevent fraud. A customer used 5 different stolen credits to make a purchase until one went through. Then of course it was charged back because they used a stolen credit card, and swipe simples system did nothing to prevent this from happening. Also we got hit with another charge right after the chargeback was pulled from our account, which I didn't think was related however after reading these reviews.. maybe it was related. I got signed up with their service through a 3rd party that handles our processing, and wow, this is scary.
