Setup in under an hour. A tip option is presented at every checkout — customers choose, you never have to ask. We market to your opted-in list every month and bring them back.
Most processors charge more, offer less, and lock you into contracts. Here's exactly what's different with Square — set up the right way.
Most shops set up Square themselves and use 10% of what it can do. We set it up the right way — configured for how your business actually runs, built to scale, and ready to grow with you.
Payments, inventory, invoicing, and reporting all configured in one session. One centralized platform to manage your entire operation from day one.
In-person, online, invoices, tap-to-pay, and mobile wallets. Offline payment capability so you keep selling even when your wifi goes down.
Sales tracking and reporting configured so you can see your top services, busiest hours, and best customers at a glance. No more guessing.
A tip screen is presented at every sale — customers choose what they want, you never have to ask. Plus digital receipts, next-day deposits, and a checkout experience your customers actually like.
Phone, tablet, or full register — we recommend exactly what fits how you operate. No upselling you on hardware you don't need.
Multiple locations, staff accounts, loyalty programs, and advanced reporting are all available when you need them. We set it up so you never have to rebuild later.
Expert setup aligned to how your business actually runs. Avoid the hours of trial and error and the costly mistakes that come from figuring it out yourself.
A clean, structured backend means faster checkout, fewer errors, and a smoother experience for the people spending money with you every day.
Square charges 2.6% + 10¢ per swipe — most shops are paying 3.3% or more right now. We get you set up in 45 minutes. Then every time someone pays, Square quietly collects their contact info. We take that list every month and bring them back in the door. No ad spend. Just your own customers.
Lower your processing fees immediately. A tip option is presented at every checkout so customers can choose — no awkward asking. Start collecting contact info on every transaction automatically. Our specialist walks you through the whole setup in 45 minutes.
Your rewards program and SMS opt-in are already collecting subscribers on every visit. We take that opted-in list every month and send one targeted text — "hey, it's been 2 months, here's $10 off" — and bring them back in the door. No ad budget required.
None of these are required. All are available now or later — just text us. Ordered by what makes the biggest difference first.
Our setup specialist calls or meets with you and walks you through your Square account step by step. You do all the clicking on your own device. We guide you through every screen: creating the account, loading your services, setting up tip prompts, configuring receipts, and getting your bank account connected. By the end of the call your Square account is fully configured and you know how to use it.
No. During the consultation we tell you exactly which hardware fits your business and give you the direct link to order from Square.com. The Square Terminal ($299, no markup) ships to you in 2-5 days. You don't need anything for the consultation itself — just a phone or computer.
During your setup consultation we configure Square's built-in SMS opt-in and rewards program. Every customer who checks out is invited to join your rewards program and opt into texts — right on the payment screen. Once they opt in they're on your marketing list. Every month we write one targeted text message in your voice, you approve it, and we send it to your opted-in list through Square's SMS marketing tool. We also set up automatic Google review requests so every visit generates a potential new review. The SMS platform cost is included in your $299/month — no extra tools to pay for.
Yes. You can start with just the consultation, build up your Square customer list for a few months, then add the marketing service whenever you're ready. Just text us. We'll set it up within 48 hours.
No contract, no minimum term, no cancellation fee. $299 per month, cancel whenever you want by texting us. We just ask for 30 days notice so we don't send a campaign after you've cancelled.
Square works for almost any local service business — auto shops, salons, barbershops, cafes, nail shops, boutiques, food trucks, fitness studios, and more. If you take card payments from customers in person, Square is almost certainly a better and cheaper option than what you have now. Not sure? Text us before ordering and we'll tell you honestly.
