No real complaints. I would 100% recommend using it for your business transactions ----- ### "Easy way to increase sales." — 5.0/5 > **Sadie** | *20 November 2024* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pretty easy to use. Love having my library easily integrated > > **Cons**: Could be a little more customizable for businesses. Some features are on square online but not other parts of square - they are good features but I would like to be able to adjust them in other places too (like the order of how modifiers show up on the register). Also - this one is huge - there really needs to be a better way to make sure orders are seen/accepted by employees\! We ended up adding a motion sensor to the top so that it makes a sound loud enough when an order comes in. > > This was nice and helpful to be able to add online orders to our business ----- ### "Let Square Online Be Your Store" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *30 July 2025* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: They are continuing to update the program. New improvements, features and functionality continue to evolve with square. > > **Cons**: Wish improvements could happen a bit quicker. Some additional functionality with pop-ups would be helpful. > > It's reliable and works well. It makes a great, professional appearance of my business and it's easy to use. ----- ### "A must for small business owners." — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *22 January 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: A great way to pay and get paid for services when you need to accept multiple credit cards and don't want to rely only on cash payments or bank transfers. > > **Cons**: The fees are similar to what you pay for PayPal or other competitors. It would be nice if they were a bit lower. > > Overall, I find it easy to use, consumer friendly, great customer support and a total game changer for small businesses. ----- ### "Couldn’t ask for more\!" — 5.0/5 > **Thomas** | *15 January 2026* | Market Research | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product has a great security and wonderful website customization. Payments and invoicing couldn’t be simpler. Great value for the money. > > **Cons**: There was a little bit of a learning curve, which I always find difficult when trying to set up a new site or storefront. > > Being able to manage a website and a storefront all in one with great functions and options is a dream come true\! ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/374143/square-online?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/374143/square-online) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
