What do you do to combat the card processing outages happening?

I have Square POS and a Square Terminal to take card payments. Unfortunately with the system going down so often in mine and many areas I am not able to process card transactions causing me to lose hundreds each time. Should I move to another POS system or is there a card processor that I can use with square that isn't connected to their server with the issues?????

@Zsnyd1355 Do you have offline mode enabled on your devices?  If so, even when payment processing is down, you can swipe cards for Square to process after they are back up.  You can even set limits on transactions, etc.  I’ve not lost a payment in years because of this.
