"It makes appointment booking to be quick and saves a lot of time."
What do you like best about Square Online?

As a software development project manager, I find the booking platform of Square Online quite useful. Our customers can easily log in and choose the services they require. This minimizes the time taken by a patient in making an appointment since they can book one without much trouble. Another important feature is the integrated payments system that can now make check-out stages much faster. In conclusion, it’s great how this solution makes the collaboration between us and our customers easily.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

However there are parts that could make better. One limitation of the text communication is that it does not allow customization, as we would prefer, something which impedes our effort to communicate effectively in true brand voices.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

The square online has played a significant role in addressing coordination and scheduling issues. It makes appointment booking to be quick and saves a lot of time.

"Simple Drag and Drop with Built-In Templates to Create Professional Websites"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Most helpful aspects have to be the left taskbar with easy drag and drop flexible features to easily publish and itegrate your website to the world wide web. Upsides are the simplicity and how fast you can make a professional site from scratch or built-in templates.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Sometimes there are some features I cannot find on the left taskbar, or specific formatting I want to customize within a template that I find hard to figure out without having to switch to HTML.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

It hard to build a website, especially without in-depth knowledge of HTML. When running a profesisonal platform, website appearance is important and Weebly helps bridge that gap and provides me the benefit of a great front facing website easy to build.

"The Best Website Editor Out There"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Everything! Weebly editor is an incredibly seamless way to build out the website of your dreams with extremely minimal experience. The building features are simple but so easy to use and apply. It allows you to integrate apps and software directly through the website so things like creating merch are easy. I can't recommend them enough!

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Wish there were more sales and better prices, but it is worth it! Also wish the build tools were slightly more advanced.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Website creation and merch creation as well as integration of all of our scheduling and payment software.

"A Seamless User Experience"
What do you like best about Square Online?

I can't say enough great things about the website builder and integrative tools on Square Online/Weebly. We've had such an easy time putting together a professional looking website that performs perfectly and linking all the necessary POS systems and payment processors.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Just needs slightly more options for linked up softwares and tools, there aren't as many options as I would like for podcasts and social media integrations specifically

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating a professional website experience and integrating shopping platforms and softwares so we can accept payments

Square online has it's benefits but also has some limitations like adding features that are very cool need to be paid for. The store feature needs to have a subscription.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Square online is solving the problem of not requiring to have a code to make a website and to avoid that hectic amount of stress to code a website and use all the coding tools to do so.

"It's a pleasure to use Square Online."
What do you like best about Square Online?

I love how there is a free plan available. The paid plans are highly affordable and come included with a free domain alongside it. Square online also allows you to manage inventory within the platform.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

The transaction fees can add up for high-volume sellers, and there are limited customization options. Customer support is only available during some periods of the day, making it inconvenient.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to sell products using its built-in inventory management system. It also allows me to accept payments online. It increased my business performance greatly and boosted my revenue by over twice as much.

"Intuitive and streamlined the customer experience"
What do you like best about Square Online?

I love that the look is customizable and has a lot of resources available without upgrades. I also love integrating POS in my website because it takes fewer steps to earn the same for me.

I wish there were more marketing resources without an upgrade - email marketing, for example.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeps sales reports and trends, provides a secure method of sales my customer trusts, offers my customers a space off of social media platforms where they can keep up with my business.

"Increased sales, improved service speed"
What do you like best about Square Online?

The absolute best thing about square is it's recognizability now. In the summer, the farm stand I manage uses square at three locations and at every location, people always ask if we use square and if we accept pay by phone or pay by tap. It has become the norm to accept payment through our little cell phone app and it is incredibly convenient, relatively cost-effective, and definitely improves sales figures since people are more willing to spend more when they have their cards.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

As I said before, we have three locations that are currently using square. Maybe it is Us, maybe we are missing something, but after about 6 years of use, we cannot seem to figure out how to separate each location under the same account. All sales for our three locations are jumbled into one account which makes it so that we must rely on inventory counts to get an accurate distribution of sales amongst the three locations. It would be incredible if we could link different square devices to different stores without having three separate accounts. Again, it is not enough of an issue for our little business to warrant anything less than an incredible review.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

The obvious major problem that we are solving is convenience for our customers. It is not unusual for people to come into our store without paper cash, and so they are more willing to return simply out of convenience without having to plan ahead for hitting the ATMs. Because of this, visit seem to happen more regularly for our already regular customers, and incidental purchases have also increased because people are not worried about going over whatever amount of cash they have in their wallet.

"Square-Weebly"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Very easy to use layouts and pre-prepared tools that makes it very smooth to implement what we need.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Some of the add-ins dont implement properly into our platform or website and they have many bugs they dont function like they should and are better off not being used altogether. need more options for add-ins and better functinality on all of them.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Full control over our platform and website. we dont need to rely on someone else and we are saving money by doing all the work ourselves. weebly/square makes it very easy for us to add or remove content, make updates and add what we want whenever we want. we also get important alerts for compliance for our industry.

"My weebly personal website"
What do you like best about Square Online?

It is easy to navigate between page creations. Even I, as a beginner, built my website from scratch without professional help. The templates make the creation process easy and quick to set up.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

That there is no live support to chat with when you have an urgent issue with your page, you have to go and post a comment or request to the community and then wait for a reply, and you sometimes wait days and don't receive a satisfactory answer to your problem.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have built a website for my business. To advertise my products, I can have all my products in one place. I can develop my business brand the way I see it in my head, not how a website-making professional sees your vision.

"Excellent startup webpage"
What do you like best about Square Online?

My daughter and I knew nothing about setting up a website. Someone suggested Weebly and it is now the primary website program for her organization.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

I wish that you didn't have to pay to get the word WEEBLY out of your domain address, it makes it very difficult for people to remember the name of our address.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a way to communicate with potential group members and sponsors. I am able to link it to forms for them to fill out as well as to donation links through our mother nonprofit. It is easy to setup a site relatively quickly and without expertise.

"Best and cheapest"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Cant believe how easy it is to build a page with this. I am a GenX lawyer building his own firms website. I was done in about 2 hours. SO easy to build things!

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Its not super easy to get things to "stick" at a place in the web page. If I want a thing to stick I have to build up frames to capture it in a certain position. Should be just click drag and drop to format.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Easy tool for making your own website"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Weebly is a great easy to use app for website building that has all of the basic tools needed for a small business to thrive. I love the fact that everything is simple to use and I am able to quickly create websites for business or even as prototypes for business ideas.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

I love that there are great templates and drag and drop features, but I do wish there was the option to be more precise such as a tool like Wix provides. I have some graphic design knowledge, so if I could get more intricate that would be helpful at times. I've tried working with the code, but without a lot of training it's challenging to do that effectively and it upsets the template.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Weebly provides the website for multiple business revenue sources for me. I have a podcast website, a site for my membership organization, and a site to promote my consulting and speaking. I have also used Weebly to develop websites for PR clients who don't have a presence yet. Clients love the fact that they don't need to pay a webmaster to continually manage their sites for the long haul. They can jump in and edit their own sites.

"Simple To Use & Very Functional"
What do you like best about Square Online?

The volunteer fire department who's website I built was built using the Weebly platform. Weebly was hands down the most affordable and most efficient means by which to build and maintain their website. The best part of Weebly was the ability to create a secure area for the departments members, which enabled me to build out a member portal that serves as a secure repository for a lot of their member's paperwork and reports.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

The only thing I disliked was the app continually glitching. The app is very functional but at the same time, very glitchy. Also, the inability to justify text in the app was also a minor setback in many circumstances.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was able to help the department provide a constant flow of communication to its constituents, thereby improving the relationship it has with the community.
