Why Square Over Other Payment Processors

I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of Square for most of the work we do. Their focus is on in-person payments, and while they do offer online payment processing, it’s not as robust or developer-friendly as some other options. For organizations that need a simple way to accept payments without a lot of custom development, Square can be a good choice, but we generally will push for Stripe.

Key Benefits for Our Clients

Square’s point-of-sale hardware and software can be a good fit for organizations that need to accept payments in person, like at events or physical locations. Their reporting and analytics tools are also pretty substantial, and they have a whole suite of additional services like invoicing and payroll that can be useful for small organizations. For clients that are already using Square for in-person sales, it can make sense to use their online payment processing to keep everything in one ecosystem, even if it’s not our first choice for online
