Square for Retail vs. Worldline Global Collect

Square for Retail is simple, easy to account for, and serves most purposes that a business like ours needs. There are very few drawbacks once it's up and running. For a company like ours who wants to emphasize experience from the time the customer walks in the door to the time they walk out, and where cost is important, Square for Retail provides an awesome interface for the customer, with attractive, easy to use terminals, and a very accessible price point where we can get set up with a clean, attractive, and functional point of sale system while starting up. We have no intentions of moving away from Square for Retail as long as it maintains its quality and support.

This company has the biggest number of payment terminals in the world, so we went with them because it must have the most data available. And the tool does the work very well, it just feels a bit outdated or not on the cutting edge side but really works for what you need it to do. We had some hiccups in setting the rules up and the integration, might not be the simplest one to do but in the end the integration worked well.

Stripe is more suited for internet or online order forms and businesses for which it integrates. It works well and same as Square with similar fees. Stripe however does not send a physical card reader by default and is not as large of a company. We chose Square due to the integrations it offers, ease of use, and familiarity clients have with existing card readers to make them more comfortable.

Ingenico ePayments has probably the best cost-to-benefit ratio. It's very versatile at its core, and the fees are not among the worst. You need to invest a little bit in your first integration, but in the long run, it pays out. In general, it provides anything you need in an eCommerce platform for the right price.
