No compatibility Apparently their software and hardware are only compatible with the newest model of phones so there's no way for me to actually use it. Both the square reader and tap and pay are listed as incompatible so there's no way to actually use their stuff not to mention with how confusing it is to actually make an account

The data is all great, but the ux of the app isn't brilliant. Being able to refresh the Reports page would be really helpful, currently have to leave the page and go to transactions/checkout etc and then back into Reports > Sales to see live daily sales. Used to use zettle, the amount of data is a lot better on square, but the ux of the zettle app is miles better. Also no easy way to see sales by day on one screen, have to manually select each day off the calendar which takes ages. Bad design.

It seemed great at first, free and has everything you need, only after I placed my whole catalog in the square app did I realized that they are only compatible with 2 hardware brands, star and Epson. Both brands are ridiculously expensive, i just want to use a cheaper alternative, but they refuse to provide us that little freedom, had to sadly uninstall and go with another POS that is compatible with all sorts of hardware

Thanks for the feedback, Alvin. We aim to support some of the most popular receipt printers at a range of different price points, and are sorry to hear the ones we support are not the best fit for your business. We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback, we'll pass it along to our hardware team.
