As a fellow small business owner of a retail store I feel that I can answer your&nbsp; questions. Been using square for about 5 years and upgraded to the stand when it came out. My store has thousands of sku's or items and I do my own tag printing with the use of other software and a laser printer. It is a little more work because of inputting the inventory into two software platforms which is why from time to time I think ubout upgrading, but everything about it works well so I really don't have a reason to switch.

We are debating whether we need Square for Retail or can capitalize on what Square POS has to offer. Is anyone able&nbsp;to lend their experience to advising our transition? We are a single location.
