Reviews of Square for Retail
Chase
Great for entrepreneurs
Comments: It is very easy to use and convenient for my customers
Pros:
The ease of use for this product is amazing. I love how you can make a sale with the virtual terminal by either swiping a card or sending an invoice.
Cons:
The fees per use can be cumbersome. However all pay portals have some sort of fee to use their product.

They Allow Fraud and Theft
Comments:
Horrible experience. Square permits fraudulent chargebacks against your company. A client purchased multiple packages totally thousands of dollars from my company, received the services, and then disputed the charges as 'unrecognized'. I provided the following to square:
Her signed contracts, with an anti-chargeback clause
Photos of us performing the services at the event, with her in the photos
A chain of her emails, including an email after her event thanking us for job well done
Despite this proof and legally binding contract, Square sided with her and removed the funds from my account. I had to sit with my bank to file a dispute with Square, put a hold on all charges by Square, and start using an entirely different payment processor just to avoid Square stealing my money.
Absolute fraud.
Pros:
People understand how to use it, so it's widely accepted as a valid method of payment and no one is nervous about using it (they should be!)
Cons:

Square is the Obvious Choice for POS Vendors
Pros:
It is reliable for customers and easy to use by our staff.

We haven't come up with any complaints other than minor difficulties with connectivity in certain situations beyond Squares control.
Jose
Great allied for Retail Business
Pros:
While keeping operation and inventory counts synced seems difficult, Square for Retail delivers a great experience
Cons:
Maybe some discount when purchasing annual licenses would be appreciated, but overall the performance and ease of use is great
