Square POS vs. TrueLoyal

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.

Zinrelo is the perfect platform to reward frequent buyers, achieve larger AOV’s, and encourage your customers to become your marketing team. Because Zinrelo was not appropriate for our B2B relationships, direct integration with our e-commerce platforms would have allowed us to restrict its use to only eligible customers via the e-commerce customer type.

• 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.

• Customer service is fantastic.
• They are always asking for feedback, so that they can understand what is working well for us, and what isn't working well.
• They are pro-active and frequently offer suggestions to us, for promotions that they think would be worthwhile, and help us to keep shoppers coming back.

• 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

Incentivized

• Though perfectly functional, Zinrelo’s interface seems slightly dated and could use a visual update.
• Zinrelo should develop direct integrations with BigCommerce and NetSuite, so all Zinrelo account management can be handled within those platforms.
• Zinrelo should allow for custom reasons for the addition of points. Sometimes the the established reasons do not address the situation, and the flexibility to add custom reasons with reduce or eliminate the need to add notes to transactions.

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.

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.

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.

We also looked at SweetTooth, prior to choosing Zinrelo. Zinrelo had a much smoother integration with our Netsuite System, however.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Increased customer retention.
• Increased average order value.
