“I’ve been using Square invoices since they launched. I run a product-based business and using the invoice feature at wholesale trade shows has been amazing! I use the program on my iPad so I can quickly scroll through products with a buyer and select the items for their order. Since a lot of wholesale orders are not paid upfront, I can send the invoice in an email to be paid at a later date. I can easily edit the orders after the show and send reminders as the due date approaches.
On the buyer’s end, the process is really simple. They receive an email with the itemized order and your customized note. With a click on the “Pay” button, they can quickly enter their payment information and submit–no need to sign in or create an account.
One new feature that I love is saving a credit card on file. Again, this is huge at trade shows where I want to create the invoice and save a card with it to charge when I ship at a later date. It helps me know that I will get paid and it makes things super easy for them.”

“I wish there was a way to change the sales tax settings while creating an invoice. If you have a sales tax rate indicated on your POS device, it will automatically apply that same rate to your invoicing (and you have to leave the invoice and go into settings to change it). Because we charge sales tax on retail sales, but not on wholesale, we are constantly turning that feature on and off.”

I love the ability to schedule invoices for our catering clients, saving our team a lot of time every month. I like too that I can track everything in one spot and that I’m notified when a client has paid.
I dislike that I cannot input a delivery address because I use Square Invoices for our catering delivery business. Therefore, I have to put the delivery address and time in the notes section of the invoice.
Storing our catering invoices all in one place. The benefits include time saving, tracking, mobile generated, professional looking and competitive credit card processing rate.

I use Square Invoices to send out individual invoices to each of our clients, every month. Before this software, I was manually making PDF invoices and had no way to easily and quickly accept payment online from my clients. Now, my time spent on invoicing each month is drastically reduced, and I get payments easier and faster.
I wish there was a way to automatically calculate credit card processing fees based on an invoice’s amount, and add that to the invoice.
I have not had a single issue using Square Invoices to date (after four-plus years of use). It might not be great if you need to have highly detailed or itemized invoices.

Ease of use, easily transferrable between different users, and great on the go!
Haven’t dealt much with their customer service and it can be difficult to find a square reader for purchase in retail stores. I ordered on through their website as the free add on and never received it! Then had to go on a last minute hunt for one in a retail store for purchase which was a headache.
The difficulty to find a reader in person.

One new feature that I love is saving a credit card on file. Again, this is huge at trade shows where I want to create the invoice and save a card with it to charge when I ship at a later date. It helps me know that I will get paid and it makes things super easy for them.
I loved that the processing rate for invoices was the same as running a credit card in person, but unfortunately the rate increased in the fall 2016. Because of that change, I direct customers to place orders through my online store instead, but I still can’t beat the ease of use in the busy trade show setting, so I will continue to use invoices for that. The credit card on file feature also incurs a higher fee, so I don’t love that, but it saves me and my customers time and headache trying to track down payments.
Some of the notifications were an issue for me at first. For example, I would try to cancel or update an order and it would automatically send a notification to the recipient. Square has since updated this, so you can choose whether or not to send a notification, which is great!
Sometimes it’s hard to tell what a customer sees when you send something out, whether a receipt from point of sale or an invoice. I can always send tests to myself, but I wish there was an easier way to see the end result. I also would love to be able to create different return policies for different types of customers (invoice vs. point of sale) since my wholesale sales are different from retail sales.

The one thing I would add to what was said above is that Square charges the same rate for invoices sent internationally. I live in Canada and if I send an invoice to the US or Europe (which I do often), it is the same transaction fee. With Pay Pal I would have to pay a much higher fee for international invoices.
It serves the needs of small businesses that don’t sent enough invoices to need a subscription service like Freshbooks
not sure…
