    Skrill is my preferred way of doing money transactions abroad typically when I need a safe secured and efficient way of sending money overseas and the amount is low. Most other portals tend to charge a transfer fee for lower amounts but Skrill does not charge a transaction fee when I use the ACH Transfer even for lower amounts. For personal use, I have used the debit card to fuel transactions and it allows you the same facility as the debit card. If I need to complete the transaction within a day and want the money to be available in the receiving account overseas the same day, I prefer another portal that has the option of express service that Skrill does not offer.

    Square POS is by far the easiest POS software to use at events and train additional team members on - even with temporary or first-time employees. It's easy to see how each event is doing in live time. It gives the event manager a real-time view of revenue earned. Its really easy to create/manage/delete users to keep the platform secure.

    Pros
    Paysafe
    • It is a global payment processor that accepts payments from all around the world.
    • Because of the high security requirements for signing in, no one can readily access the account.
    • Real-Time Payments - Payment Gateway

    • Mobile transactions (not like from a phone, but in terms of the ability to physically relocate rapidly).
    • Simple setup.
    • Generally uncomplicated pricing.
    • Widespread customer familiarity: because it's so regularly in use in our industry (musicians/entertainment professionals), people know and trust it in a way that you might not with a different provider.

    Cons
    Paysafe
    • Skrill's UI can be bloated and slow sometimes, and overcomplicated
    • There are some issues with localization and language, some concepts didn't see to be translated properly
    • What an e-wallet is, is not super clear to potential users

    • Too much going on for simple users. There are so many different apps and pages now that I get lost almost every time I log onto Square
    • The high percentage of fees taken from sales
    • The difficulty in changing default settings
    • The layout of the “website” you can create is truly a nightmare

    We ended up using Tipalti which seems to have solved our specific needs better, though it is more expensive.

    I don't really foresee anything being able to dislodge Square from our organization—we're not evangelists or anything like that—it's just the best solution we've found for our use case. Being able to quickly handle transactions from customers and then track all of those sales for analysis/bookkeeping later on.

    Because it's simple to use, works well since we have first set it up and we never had any issues with it.

    We find Square POS is very user friendly. Its interface is customizable to our needs and very easy to use. Before we adopted Square POS, we used a combination of solutions from different manufacturer to try and achieve a portion of the functionality that Square POS provides under only 1 login

    An admission - I have NEVER had to use Square POS support. The system is seamless, it just works! I have never had any queries about how the system worked as everything is so clearly laid out. I have never had any problems with payments. If their support systems are anywhere near as good as their software, I think we'll be in good hands.

    I use different payment systems depending on the goal. Skrill is good when my contractor prefers this way of payment. Also, Skrill is a preferred payment option in many online services, which makes it easy to use. Also, Skrill issues a real plastic Visa card you can use like any bank card.

    We only used Square POS while we were getting set up with Authorize.Net. It isn't as flashy or recognized by the general public, but in our industry, that isn't a priority. We do very large transactions so the higher rates and fees from Square add up insanely quickly making the lower rates and fees from Authorize.Net the nail in Square's coffin for us.

    • I can quickly deposit my international multi-currency account without making an expensive wire transfer, with no border restriction as long as I have the mobile app with me.
    • Skrill is very convenient for each transfer amount up to EURO 2,500, and EURO 15,000/monthly.
    • Possibility of hiring freelancers for my company with immediate payments.

    • The opportunity cost of waiting for payments and manually bringing them to a bank means that we don't have to visit our bank branch. That alone saves us several hours each month.
    • We can use ordinary computers and mobile devices with Square instead of paying for expensive software or terminals.
    • Our clients appreciate not having to process payments to us, and anything that helps our clients and makes them happy carries more import than I can explain in this space.
