No real complaints. I would 100% recommend using it for your business transactions ----- ### "Easy set-up and easier to use" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *23 July 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As selling on-line was new to us, the ease of set-up was very welcome. Information on the website was extremely helpful in assisting to make an informed decision to use this service. > > **Cons**: Nothing comes to mind currently as we have only used it for a very short time. (couple months). Since we are new to this e-commerce process, I am thinking there may come a time when it will get tedious or frustrating. Not sure. :) > > Customer service was quick to respond and very helpful in answering our multiple questions about using the service. The first time we used it, it went seamlessly. Have to say it continues to be seamless still. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Writings to our small Nordic school." — 5.0/5 > **Blerta** | *1 May 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Installing our course catalog was easy, I did it by myself without disturbing our IT person. The payment system is compatible with the card of our Swedish and Norwegian students. I like the fact that there is a sense of security regarding student information especially when dealing with the information of minors. The monthly fee is more affordable than other websites we have used in terms of our limited educational budget. > > **Cons**: The check out system is confusing to some of the older students enrolling in conversation classes. Unable to automate the sending of reminder emails on homework submissions and schedule changes in classes, it remains a manual task. Only a few choices on how to tailor the course registration forms to the required language proficiency levels. > > In the case of a small language center like ours, we can get by with Square online. It does not fit well with learning requirements - we operate around its retail orientation. It only required one weekend to create our site, and parents are confident in the payment system. Valuable when you require something basic that does not exceed your nonprofit budget. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/374143/square-online?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/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
