Hello.. As a fellow small business owner of a retail store I feel that I can answer your 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. There is the shiny new device they have come out with called Square Register which I have thought about..
Pros for switching to Square Register
- New system with a screen that faces the customer
- Ability to handle purchase orders and inventory
- Ability to print tags from the square platform
Cons for switching to Square Register
- Costs $1000 while I already own the stand and all readers
- The 2.5% fee plus 10 cents actually raises my costs when compared to the Point of Sale swipe rate.
- Setting up new product UPCs for existing items
Let me know how you feel about your situations. We can often learn from each other.
All the Best!
