Features
Customize your counter. Take payments on the go.
Get the hardware you need to take payments anywhere your customers are. Complete your countertop with Square Stand plus a custom point-of-sale kit, and get a mobile POS with Square Reader.
No training necessary.
Square’s POS system is designed to get your staff up and running quickly. Drag and drop items and categories, customize your items grid, and bring popular items front and center.
Receipt and tipping options
Customers can choose between digital (email or text message) and printed receipts. Suggested tip options keep employees happy, too.
Open tickets and split tender
Keep tabs open and let your customers pay when it’s convenient. Split a tab by cards or take payments multiple ways.
Manage inventory in real time
Change item details like price, name, or quantity in real time. Track stock quantities and get email alerts when items run low.
Integrated payment processing.
No need to set up a separate processing account. Accept cards, cash, checks, and gift cards with Square’s free POS software.
Clear pricing, no surprises
Process Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express at 2.75% per swipe, chip card dip, or NFC payment.
Take payments offline
Take payments without a connection in Offline Mode and pay the usual 2.75% per swipe.
Deposits the next business day
Know exactly when you’re getting paid. Square deposits money directly into your bank account in one to two business days.
Serious security
Card information is encrypted at swipe. Square never stores data on your device after a payment has been processed.
Make more informed business decisions.
When the work day is done, sign in to your free Square Dashboard from any computer. From new customer information to sales by item, see what’s working or where to improve.
Manage employee access.
Control what data your employees can access with employee passcodes. Keep tabs on who sold and refunded what.
Timecards at the register
Square’s POS system lets employees clock in and out right at your register. Every transaction is linked to an employee, which speeds up reconciling tips and commissions.
Mobilize your staff
When lines get long, equip staff with Square Readers and a smartphone or tablet—send them out with their mobile POS systems to ring up customers.
Multiple locations, one account.
Edit your menu, employee timecards, and prices for different locations from anywhere, all through your Square Dashboard.
Reporting tools you can grow with
Filter reports by employee, location, and device. Create revenue-per-labor-hour reports to see what’s working and core multi-unit reports your accountant will love.
