You send a link, the client pays, the money arrives, everybody carries on with their lives. No awkward chasing, no faffing about with bank details, no deciphering whether “I’ve sent it” means they genuinely have or merely intend to sometime before the next solar eclipse. The setup is remarkably intuitive as well. You don’t need an accounting degree or the patience of a medieval monk to work it all out. It just works. For freelancers and small businesses especially, that simplicity is worth its weight in gold. > > **Cons**: There is, however, one infuriating little quirk which feels entirely unnecessary. Every time I open the app simply to check payments or review activity, it immediately starts trying to connect to my Square Reader via Bluetooth. Now, this might sound trivial until you realise two things happen simultaneously: firstly, it drains the reader’s battery for absolutely no reason, and secondly, it slows down the app when all I wanted to do was glance at my transactions for ten seconds while standing in a queue somewhere. > > Overall, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The service is reliable, professional, and refreshingly straightforward in a world where financial apps often seem designed by people who actively resent human beings. Payment Links in particular have made invoicing and collecting payments dramatically easier for my business. Clients understand it instantly, payments come through smoothly, and the whole process feels secure and polished. If Square could simply give users the option to disable automatic reader pairing unless specifically needed, the experience would go from excellent to almost faultless. ----- ### "Love square payment links\!" — 5.0/5 > **Erin** | *17 April 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square payment links make it so easy and convenient for me to send payment requests to my clients. Helps me to get more income without requiring me to have an online storefront - which is my preference for my business right now. Such an easy way to accept credit card payments from your clients. > > **Cons**: Payment links could be easier to send by taking out 1 step at the end for texting them - adding that option in 1 step earlier would be helpful\! > > Overall I’m very happy with payment links and feel like they add to my income. My clients also find them very easy to use and appreciate the fact that it is a safe and secure option for making remote payments. ----- ### "Simple and reliable for taking payments" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 September 2026* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square makes taking payments incredibly easy, whether in person or online. The free card reader works great, and the app is simple to use. I love that there are no monthly fees, just a flat rate per transaction. Invoicing is quick and looks professional too. Plus, everything syncs nicely with their other tools like Square Dashboard, so tracking sales is a breeze. > > **Cons**: Not a lot to dislike really. The transaction fees aren't the lowest out there, but they're fair for the convenience. Occasionally the card reader disconnects, but reconnecting is easy enough. Reporting could be more detailed, but it covers the basics well. Overall, it does exactly what you need it to do. ----- ### "Limited Branding Options" — 3.0/5 > **Yanina** | *12 May 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy it is to share the links and the easy of payment as a customer. The payments are secure and if you pay via google the company can also access your details to send you a receipt etc. > > **Cons**: I don't like the branding capacity of the links. There is no capacity to edit an image so it's fiddly and trial and error editing an image to go with the link that fits well. It also has limited capacity for changing the design and look of the link and doesn't allow for extra data collection fields customers can complete to go with the payment. > > It's helpful as a last step to simply pay, but depending on what you're paying for, you might need a step before this link to gather information from the customer to best serve them. ----- ### "Amazing for Freelancers" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 March 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square is extremely easy to get into as a small business owner. Not only are the fees very competitive, but the ease for clients to make online payment as well as in-person payments is hard to beat. > > **Cons**: Stripe kind of paywalls better fees, which I understand, but it is pretty discouraging for people like me to use various payment methods. > > Honestly, payment links are extremely simple and quick. It took me minutes to create my links, it was very easy to continue using, and adjust on the fly. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2049383/square-online-checkout?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2049383/square-online-checkout) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
