Square Payments is a super easy software that allows you to take card payments and not have to always request cash. I find that the mini card reader makes it easy to travel to various bake sales, farmers markets, etc and accept payments with ease.
Pros
I love that Square Payments sent me a free card reader to attach to my charging port. This was super convenient as I am starting up my baking business and do not have to rely on getting cash.
Cons
I have not found a con for Square Payments yet, everything has been wonderful.

Very happy with them, would definitely recommend them to other small businesses. They are affordable, user friendly, and side with their customer (the business).
Pros
I love this software! We have continued to still use it for payments even after getting a new CRM software.
Cons
Nothing, it is very user friendly and they even side with you on disputes if you have all the information available to prove your claim.
