What do you like best about Square Payments?

I've been using Square Payments in my virtual private practice, integrated seamlessly with my CRM, Practice Better. Initially, I relied on e-money transfers, but found it cumbersome to manage. Switching to Square Payments has been a game-changer. Not only has it streamlined my payment process, but it has also saved me the hassle of hiring an admin assistant to handle transactions. With Square, transactions are smooth, secure, and efficient. Highly recommend for any small business or solo practitioner looking for an easy-to-use payment solution! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Payments?

While Square Payments has been a valuable addition to my virtual practice, there's one aspect that could be improved: the time it takes for funds to reach my bank account. While I appreciate the convenience and ease of Square's platform, the delay in transferring funds can sometimes be inconvenient. I hope to see improvements in this area in the future, as quicker access to funds would further enhance the efficiency of my business operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Square Payments solving and how is that benefiting you?

Square Payments has solved several key problems for me in my virtual private practice. Firstly, it has streamlined the payment process, making transactions smooth and efficient. Secondly, it has significantly reduced the need for manual administration tasks, saving me time and resources. Lastly, it has provided a more convenient and reliable alternative to e-money transfers.

What do you dislike about Square Payments?

I don't dislike anything as such about Square Payments. The only downside would be that there are fees for using it - but everything has fees, so not a major issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Square Payments solving and how is that benefiting you?

Square Payments solves the problem of too many different gateways for customers to pay invoices. It is straightfoward, and easy to use from a customer and supplier's perspective. A great, easy to use tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Square Payments?

I like the fact that you can create invoices with various payment options including AfterPay and CashApp. When a client receives an invoice via email, it is very easy for them to click and make a payment. I also really like the fact that you can create a payment schedule that automatically reminds the client when a payment is due. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Payments?

It's not really a dislike but the only feature that is missing, in my opinion, is the ability to create a minimum deposit amount and allow the client to manually enter a payment amount as long as it is above the minimum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Square Payments solving and how is that benefiting you?

Square Payments allows me to automate the payment process so that I don't have to remember when a payment is due or send follow-up reminders. My experience is that clients are a little more responsive to automated requests for payment than they are to the business directly sending payment reminders. Also, Square Payments has provided me with business loans based on my invoices. Payments on the loan are automatically taken from the invoice amount when paid by the client. This allows me to ensure payments are made on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love seamless appointments to invoices process. It allows my clients to book an appointment and pay using one platform. I also have the ability to setup recurring payments. I have a card to use, so I don't need to transfer money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Square Payments?

I don't like how some features are only available in the paid version; limitations on types of services you can collect payments for as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Square Payments solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to send invoices and clients have the ability to pay online, CashApp, etc. I don't have to wait on checks to be mailed after an invoice is received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
