Payments
Square allows businesses to take payments in person and via e-commerce in various ways, including debit cards, credit cards and digital wallet payments such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
The software also has an inbuilt feature that enables the creation of customized invoices, which can be sent straight from a POS system on a mobile device or from a laptop right to your customers’ inboxes.
In addition, gift cards are easy to manage and are integrated into the POS system and Square Dashboard. They’re simple to sell, redeem, track and reload.
To access the funds processed via Square, the user can manually transfer them to the nominated bank account or regularly set up an automatic transfer. The funds are available as soon as the next day.
Refunds are also made easy, with the ability to process custom or itemized refunds directly from the POS system or the online Square Dashboard.
The system then has a series of security measures to protect payments. These include fraud protection and monitoring, encrypted payments, dispute resolution, employee permissions, and optional two-factor identification.
When it comes to paying, bills can be split between customers and tips can also be factored in.
Receipts for payments can then be printed out using a compatible printer, or there is the option of sending them directly to the customer’s email address or mobile phone.
These receipts reflect an itemized breakdown of a whole number and decimal quantities, discounts and applicable taxes.
They can also be customized to suit the business.
