Poor customer service, owner of the company told me I was being difficult. This was after they missed the go live deadline for 5 months. Of course I was being difficult it's now been 4 times longer than you told me to finish this project.

Square charges more than other systems for upfront setup and equipment as well as processing fees. Customer service is virtually nonexistent.
