Do you have any experience with either of these services - or both of them? Let us know what you think!

[DavidJSullivan]

This was wicked helpful. Thank you for producing it. I'll be staying with Square for now.

[Mylifejourney]

I think square is the better option because of the no monthly payment. That takes a lot of pressure and stress off of my shoulders of having to sell a certain amount each month to make it worth it.

[pursues]

Square is the best for business owners you don’t pay a dime if you don’t sell .

[katiebugladybug]

I have a small craft business and have been disenchanted with Etsy...this was just the information I needed to decided with merchant service to go with!

[andrewjabo]

Super useful video, greatly appreciated!!

[margaretswann]

Thank you for your video. I have a crochet, knit and sewing handmade business which is quickly turning into more than a hobby so I’m looking to build a website. Per your research, I believe Square will be right for me and then I can graduate to Shopify when income becomes steady.

[Ronin]

Thx. I am looking into Loyverse vs square for my small coffee shop. What is your thought?

[samyongpark]

Hi, how are you guys? i'd like to know which one works better for the Martial arts school as i am planning to open soon, or any other one can you recommend? Thank you in advance.

I have used Square and I like it over all. The customer service so far is not so good, though. I sent them 2 separate emails and never got an answer, . It took me a while to even find the chat feature, and I had to go through a number of automated and inadequate responses before chatting with a human. HOWEVER, I hear that they are working on the customer support, and the fact that it is only during business hours is OK. I just want to be able to reach them easily during those hours. I think that Square is a good value. :) thank you for the comparison, very informative.

We have existing brick and mortar pos and are looking to change. We are a tourist retail and do high volume. We also sell
$12, 000 a month on our shopify site. We would like the integration, however we are concerned that the shopify pos is not
fast enough to process our retail store's high volume. Could you please comment? Thank you.

[bethlucht]

Which do you think is the better choice if we currently have a brick and mortar store but want to now offer our items online too? We do prefer something that can track inventory and which vendor it came from. We also need something that preferably generates and prints bar code labels for us to tag things. We frequently do discounts as well so need something than can be adjusted at the register and something that can print receipts. Finally we need to be able to easily do refunds or exchanges. Thank you!

Awesome video - what plugin did you use for the screenshot animations (with perspective and highlighter effect)?

[TheElevenBravo]

Thank you very for putting this together! Great video!
The background music....

[yummyreadygo]

Thank you for sharing, it was very useful info indeed.

[DevilishGaming]

I have a question. I know shoplift allows you to have USPS pick up the packages from whatever address you put in, including your home address. Does square offer a similar service?

[RedefiningSelf]

Have you heard of spring? how does that measure up to these services

[brittany]

I'm a brand new small, online business owner. Shopify seems to be the best investment. Square seems to cost more as your business grows (and you don't want to be penalized for growing your business.) Whereas Shopify motivates you to make that money so you can easily cover their monthly fee. Plus my business is my baby; so I want it in the hands of someone who'll answer the phone when my business needs something.

[citizenm]

Great break down. Between Shopify and Square which product you think will have a bigger market share in the future of services being offered?

[BixbyLBC]

I'm turning a fun hobby into a small online business. I'm looking to make anywhere between $500 to $1000 a month. I'm a stay at home mom looking to make a little extra pocket change. I think Square would be a good fit for me. From what I gather, Square usually freeze and hold funds from businesses making up to $10, 000 or more a month. Should I not worry so much since I'll be making much less?
