A Game-Changer for My Nonprofit Organization!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) I recently purchased the Square Terminal from Best Buy for my nonprofit organization, and I must say, it has been an absolute game-changer! As someone who values affordability, efficiency, and resource management, I couldn't be more pleased with this device. Price: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) One of the standout features of the Square Terminal is its incredible value for the price. As a nonprofit, we are always conscious of our budget, and the Square Terminal's affordability was a major selling point. Compared to other point-of-sale systems on the market, the Terminal offered competitive pricing without sacrificing quality or functionality. Best Buy's pricing was also very reasonable, making it a win-win situation for our organization. Ease of Use: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) The Square Terminal's user-friendly interface was a breath of fresh air. Our staff, many of whom are not tech-savvy, found it incredibly intuitive to set up and operate. The touchscreen is responsive and the interface is clean and well-organized. From processing payments to managing inventory, the Terminal's design simplifies the entire process. Plus, Square's ecosystem is known for its user-friendly nature, and the Terminal is no exception. It didn't take long for our team to become comfortable with using it effectively. Time and Resource Savings: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) One of the most impressive aspects of the Square Terminal has been the amount of time and resources it has saved us. Gone are the days of manual data entry and paperwork. With the Terminal, we can seamlessly track sales, manage inventory, and generate detailed reports—all in one place. This has freed up our team to focus on more important tasks, like interacting with our community and advancing our mission. The integration with Square's backend tools has been invaluable in streamlining our operations. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend the Square Terminal to any nonprofit or small business looking for an affordable, efficient, and user-friendly point-of-sale solution. Its combination of reasonable pricing, ease of use, and time/resource savings has made it an indispensable tool for our organization. Kudos to Best Buy for making this fantastic device accessible to organizations like ours. If you're considering a point-of-sale upgrade, the Square Terminal should be at the top of your list!

Works just fine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked just fine. App was relatively easy to use, transfers came in a timely manner. ~3% service fee, but you can pass that along to card-using customers. It's not too bulky either-- pictured in use.

Asked by Blake.
