Are you considering Square for your point of sale needs? There are some things you should know first.
See how ShopKeep compares and why you should choose a point of sale for the right reasons.
- A true point of sale company founded by a fellow small business owner
- Company whose mission is to help small business owners “Take Back Main Street” from huge chains and big box companies
- Provides free, live 24/7/365 customer support over phone and email
- Will never withhold your funds for any reason, works with any credit card processor to offer you maximum flexibility
- Allows you to access your customer data anytime so you can use it for marketing to increase revenue
Square
- A merchant services company selling a point of sale product
- Big company focused on many different products and partnerships other than point of sale
- Offers limited phone support, including no weekend coverage at all
- Will withhold your funds if they see a “suspicious” transaction. They have sole discretion and you can only process transactions through Square
- Does not give you access to your own customers’ email addresses
“I stopped using Square because it wasn’t easy enough to program or to make changes to my menu, and I need to do it frequently. With ShopKeep, it is super easy to make changes to my item list anytime. My shop is a little unique in that I serve seasonal drinks, and bring on new flavors and roasts all of the time. Sometimes I notice a quick spike in demand for a particular drink and adjust my prices and menu. This system makes it easy for me to make those adjustments from anywhere.”
