Everything you love about Square, plus the e-commerce power you've been missing
Lower fees. Better features. True omnichannel. Built for businesses that want to grow beyond POS.
Square is great for getting started, but growing businesses need more
"30¢ per transaction doesn't sound like much until you're processing 1,000 orders a month. That's $3,600/year just in per-transaction fees."
"Square Online is okay for basics, but we needed advanced features like headless commerce and custom checkout. Had to look elsewhere."
"Square Online and Square POS feel like different products. Inventory sync is delayed. Customer data is fragmented."
"Need marketing? $15-35/mo. Want loyalty? $45-125/mo. Appointments? $29-69/mo. Costs add up fast."
"Building custom integrations with Square's API was painful. Rate limits are too low, webhooks are unreliable."
"Square's free analytics are too basic. Need to pay $69/mo for Plus just to get decent reports."
