My First attempt at a real product review. Leave a comment and let me know what you thought. Its not really about the product to me its about the overall content itself. I am working at getting better at what I do and I like the input from those of you who watch and like my content. thank you for watching.
It is one of the best things i feel you can have in a BarberShop or salon. Hands down it made finishing out a service a pleasant experience for both my clients and I. I Recommend...
Can you start narrating books on audible, please?
You just made my day... Thank you that was one of the best comments I have received in a long time... WOW thanks Much Respect thank you for watching and leaving such a amazing comment... What a way to start my day... thank you
Yes please. I don’t care what the book is
I was thinking the same thing!! Loved the narration!!
Same! I listen to that book!
@@shawspeaks8252 When I started watching this video I thought you were in the wrong business and should do voiceovers or be that deep voice in movie trailers because it's truly amazing haha
You literally had me hooked in the first few seconds! Your voice is amazing! I am an Esthetician and I have been using square appointments on my phone and I got to where I hated clients touching my phone all day because of COVID-19. This makes things so much easier for me! Thanks for the awesome review!
Thank you for the compliment on my voice... Thank you for watching... Thank you for leaving such an amazing comment... Comments mean the world to me... You just made my day thank you...
Feel you! Same.
Loved your review. I have the square reader, now going to order this. Thanks
literally is not an intensifier. If he "literally" had you "hooked" you would be like a fish on a fishing rod.
Lmao “fits in the palm of your hand” *thunk* “also slips out of the palm of your hand”
Erin, That little thing can be slippery in the hand. Thanks for watching and even more for taking the time to leave a comment... Much Respect and stay safe
Very Helpful. My biggest question was do I need to run this off of an iPad or is it all inclusive. This video answered that. Thanks for the help!
Glad it helped!
When you made the joke about it slipping out of your hand, I watched the whole video. Good stuff brother. Very clever and entertaining.
Much Respect
The terminal receipt printer is a thermal printer no ink is required
no way.... this a joke right?
@@griverrodriguez1124 That is how almost every single credit card terminal works
LOVE your voice! Made me want to watch the whole review even though I am familiar with the Square!! Subscribed to hear more!!
Thank you Pam... You just made my day.... Wow... Really I am Speechless... Smiling but Speechless.... Thank you much respect and stay safe.... Your a good person!!!

I will admit, I accidentally clicked on this video as it came up on my fyp, but your voice is so amazing I watched the whole video/
Thank you 😊 your comment was so amazing 🥲 it just made my day. Thank you very much. Much Respect
@@shawspeaks8252 Np
Ur amazing 🤩
You are as well. Much Respect
Finally a video that tells me everything I need to know!!!!! Thank you!!
I am glad I was able to help. I still love mine and it’s still working well. I have even learned a few more things about it since then. Great way to take card payments. I appreciate you watching and even more for letting me know my video was helpful. Thank you 😊 & Much Respect
One of the best reviews thus far!
Thank you. Greatly appreciated, Much respect
You did an excellent job doing your review! i know that this is an old video but it is still super engaging and gave me a more detailed look at the product before making a purchase.
Thank you, much respect
What happens when there's no internet? I LOVED YOUR VIDEO!!!!!! I have one in the cart but want to make sure it's completely worth it....I'm mostly convinced with this video!
I love mine. Never had to use it without internet. I feel it has been well worth it. Much Respect
Buddy, you made a review on a boring device entertaining. Well done.
Shaw with the Shaft swag! Earned my follow.
Thank you Much Respect
You answered all of my questions! Better than their own video. Thank you!!!!
Beauty, Thank you... Your comment just made my day... Wow... Much Respect to you... It dont take much for me... you did it, thank you. Stay Safe and I hope it works out for you I am still loving mine I use it everyday in the shop.
No thank YOU! Great to know you still love it. Ordered mine last night after your video 🤓
I appreciate your review. I’m actually looking at this for band merch. Usually you can set up at a small table to sell your shirts and CDs and stuff, and I’m looking for a good way to take credit card payments. So I need something small and reliable, and this seems to fit my needs very well.
Cool Chaos Dave... Thats what I call you today... lol cause your a cool guy... Must be, left me a amazing comment today... I am glad found my video helpful. I think this would be perfect for selling Merch on the go... I have never used it outside of my shop... to be honest when it slipped out my hand in the video that was a mistake that you learned right with me real time... I just left it in the video to show it will slip out your hand. I have not picked it up since I put it in my shop... I am just telling you if you will have a lot of people handling it... find a way to mount it to the table... I never reviewed this products durability... lol I dont see it taking many drops... beware... Just my Thoughts hope it helps... Much Respect and stay safe
excellent review and your voice is amazing, I would love to hear you sing, or get audio books with your voice over, or hear your voice on the radio, you're amazing
Thank you, you just made my day.
Thanks for doing this review, I was trying to figure out the necessity. Thank youuu
Bruv, your edit are hilarious. Thanks for the honest review and comments. Appreciate you
Ordering mine after seeing this review ! Thanks a lot
No Ashley thank you... For watching and even more for taking the time to let me know that you trusted my review enough to get one of your own... Thank you, You made my day... Much Respect and Stay Safe... Wow thank you...
Your review was hilarious. Definitely made me even more a believer. Will be using for my small BITness. "flip phooone" lol 😂
thank you, you made me smile... Much Respect
Was so helpful!
Please is it possible to create lead magnet on square?
If yes how can I achieve it?
Thanks
That is what I need and you have convinced me.
Thank You Antonette, I love making videos and it really makes my day with people let me know that one of my videos helped them in some way... thank you for making my day... comments really mean a lot to me... Much Respect and Stay Safe
Does it work with the Cash draw/register?
Great review and great voice! It's been a few years - how is it holding up for you?
I still use it pretty heavily in my barbershop 💈.. I don’t use the print feature at all. Ran out of paper and never got more. We also have one in the mall that is used for the train 🚂. It has been dropped by several people printing is not an option anymore. Broken but it still works great for everything else. Email & text receipts are the best way to go. You capture the client or customer information when you do it that way. Good way to get repeat sales.
I hope this was helpful mine is holding up great. The train 🚂 one has seen better days. 😂 they both work fine. Much Respect
@@shawspeaks8252 It was very helpful - thank you so much!
You have the terminal and whats that other one you keep spinning around? Is that an iPad or a system for SQUARE AS WELL
It was an IPad with square software (app) installed. The stand made it so you could accept credit cards
So I will both in order to take credit card payments. One can’t work with the other
OK. I have this exact thermal printer and I love it. But I dropped it on the floor and now can not get the door to shut all the way. So it says printer issue and does not print out receipts anymore. It does make the printer noise. Any suggestions Please?
I suggest send digital receipts 🧾. I have one in my shop and I have one at a part time job. Neither print. The one in my shop will proof just never bought more paper. I have never needed it. If someone wants a receipt I send it text or email. Not much requires paper these days. Even paper money that is the whole point of this product to me. To remove the need for paper. Saves you money and the environment. I hope that/ this was helpful. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment. Much Respect
I think I might have to upgrade, was really skeptical about that device but honestly it looks really cool, compact, and the receipt feature is nice
I love mine, no problems to date. Thanks for watching and even more for leaving a comment... Much Respect
@@shawspeaks8252 Sure no problem 😉. My goal is to help as many small businesses as I can. And just really keeping people informed on what options they have. When I started my business years ago I had a lot of trouble with PayPal and wish I knew of these other solutions. So I just like to help wherever I see fit.
Hey @Shaw great videos.. NiCE style.. Great voice.. So l was wondering if l get one of those do you still need the BiG screen terminal to enter a small restaurant menu or you can enter the whole menu into this small terminal and how 'bout the other features that the BiG screen terminal has LiKE staff sign-in and all that.. I am wondering 🤔💭 if I should get both or just the small terminal. Does the small one has all the features of the BiG screen one..??? Please 🙏 let us know or make a ViDEO about it. Thank you.. 🙏
Damn, you're good! That voice too!
Thank you 😊
Love your method of presentation and voice for this. Great job thank you
Wow Mi Green... Thank you, people can be pretty mean on this platform... I have had so many people tell me I sound like a robot, talk about my nails and just give me all kinds of flack... it feels good to hear someone say they liked something. I enjoy making videos. I try to make at least one weekly, but negativity makes it hard to want to. I wish more people took your approach. your comment motivated me today. I want to thank you for that... negative people have a way of being heard so much louder than people who are positive. I heard you loud and clear, thank you... Much respect to you... you just made a difference.
@@shawspeaks8252 I may not watch every video but +1sub.
I had to pause the video to comment!!!
I love the vibe..I love the video! Wish it reach a million views.
Ruth, Thank you... I get some mixed reviews on how this video came out... some say I sound like a robot some say they like it... Clearly I prefer comments like yours... lol You made my day... Wow thank you... WOW really... Ruth thanks for watching and commenting, your amazing... Much Respect and Stay Safe
No thanks. This is your creation and your way of doing it! That's why it's yours to begin with! Not everybody will like it. But who cares! I like it and so will many others with a positive mind and point of view. 🤗
I am happy to read that I made your day. Bless you

Thank you Ruth, You just keep motivating me to keep going... Much Respect
Use this terminal for our small business. We ain't in the barber shop or anything like that. But when contractor works on the go payments is amazing and the customers like not having to come to an office to pay.
Thank you for sharing, Much Respect
Bought one and haven’t used it yet decided to watch for more info. I’m satisfied
Brainiac, I am glad I could help... Thanks for watching and even more for taking the time to leave a comment... Much Respect
@@shawspeaks8252 yessir god bless!
Thanks for the Review, Does It have employees Management feature ? So I could know each employee how many haircuts they did or what kind of services they provided the clients and what products have they sold ?
Can you buy just 1 square terminal to use in multiple locations with different ports or something?? or does this only work in 1 shop
R-A, thanks for watching and even more for taking the time to leave a comment... comments mean the world to me. To answer your question yes this runs off a battery so you could take it from shop to shop or even use it as a street vendor. If I am correct you can even take offline payments and they will all go through when you connect to WiFi or hard line internet. I use it only in one place so I might not be the best person to ask but I am almost certain I am correct on the matter. I love mine... lol I don’t feel you would be upset with it in anyway.... let me know if you get it, what you think and if it works. Thank you again and much respect... stay safe
Does this just connect to wifi or do you have to have the Ethernet cable?
Diamond, it does come with a cable to use a Ethernet cable... I just use WiFi because I would have to run the cable around the room or move the device... to answer you question though... you can use it with or with out either... even no connection will work if you take it somewhere... when you connect to internet the transactions are supposed to go through. I have not tried that yet, but I have had my system say it was offline and completed a transaction... I have had no problems to mention since I have had it... Stay Tuned if I have any I will let you know... Thanks for watching and even more for taking the time to leave a comment... Much Respect and Stay Safe
I just got mine today, but do you know how to print the entered day sales to keep record of it? I was using the touch less one via my iPhone but I’ve chosen to give out receipts. Specific for mature people who don’t get use to technology.
You sound like Tone Loc, Juice. Can this be charged through your phone, if not how long does the battery last? Thanks
I love your voice!! Thank you for such great information =)
Thank you
I have a clothing business where i mostly do deliveries, can i enter the items in stock? And will they automatically be removed once a purchase is made
I have not used it for that not sure
Your voice reminds me of Eddie Love from back in DA DAY... Smooth confident and reassuring!
Just bought this product on Amazon for my upcoming business, will I need to sync the Terminal to an IPAD or my phone for transactions to go through?
Storm Watcher, Thanks for watching and even more for the comment.... Really means a lot... Much Respect and Stay Safe
Sorry Got to happy and forgot to answer you question... lol You wont need anything to set it up... ready to go out the box... Thanks again
This is the most fun review I've watched in awhile! Thanks for the info and the laughs. I also don't read directions and like things that just work :)
You just made my day... lol you will like most of my videos then because all I do is let you learn what I learn along the way... I am no expert on anything I do... I just love making videos... It means so much to me when someone tells me they enjoyed it... Ashley you made my day... No one has ever told me they thought one of my videos was fun to them... I have heard they enjoyed it, but fun... That means a lot because that is what I am doing with almost every video I make... Have Fun... Thank you so much... Much Respect to you and Stay Safe.
I agree, he made me want it 😫
I have 5 barbers can you track each employee takings? Can it have multiple employees onit?
not sure wish I could answer that for you
Now that’s a real review right there!
Nuf said I'm hooked enough to buy it. You sold me when it printed receipts.
You made my day. Thank you for the time and the comment. I appreciate you. Much Respect
This is the greatest product review i have ever seen hahah
Thank you, you made my day. Much Respect
Hahaha I ain’t asking I am telling…. You made me want to like this video. Awesome review thank you for this. Do you still feel the same way about the terminal since posting 2 years ago or have your thoughts changed a bit. Love your voice. Hope you started reading books ❤️
Good review, thank you! I was about to pull the trigger on two of these but after seeing the review I realize it isn't much different than the square reader that I have now in terms of actual functionality. It's a much nicer device for sure, but the checkout experience is similar enough that I'm going to stick with the reader.
I got mine today.
Great review!
Thank you 😊
Love your work
Thank you! 😊 Much Respect
would you think that is worth it to connect the square terminal with the square cash drawer?
I always wanted to. If I had a need for a cash draw I would get one. I don't do many cash transactions these days. My thoughts if I used a lot of cash I would get one. Hope this was helpful. Much Respect
I've seen some videos of sqaure freezing peoples money and not telling them. Have you had any "scammy" experiences with the company , with them not depositing money into your bank account
I don’t want to lie to you... but I don’t know... I don’t track as close as most... I get a deposit notification each day to my email... I do quick math in my head... but I never check to see how much each client has paid me... My clients treat me well... I never check behind them... it makes me not feel worthy sometimes when they bless me... so I just don’t look... I don’t like to talk money with people... thats why I work by appointment only... price is understood before you arrive.... thanks for watching and even more for leaving a comment... much respect and stay safe
Doe's this work wireless through wifi or need's the hub ethernet?
Awesome video though!
I use Wifi but you can plug in hard wire if you like... thanks for watching and for the awesome comment... much respect
@@shawspeaks8252 you still love it ?
Have you considered clover by chance. You could save on interchange fees if your volume is more than $5000 a month by offering cash discount. You cut out the payment aggregator such as square, PayPal, or stripe and have your your own merchant account. Just a suggestion to consider. Great video
No I have never looked into clover. I have always just charged the fee to the client. Now I mainly go through my booking app to receive payments. I use the square for clients who don't pay through the app. Not nearly as many people as it use to be. I also use Zelle now when I have a client that has it and for my Renters. No Fee and it keeps a pretty good record directly in my account. there are so many ways to collect money these days. This Square has been great in the time that I have had it. Still going strong. Thanks for watching Keara, and even more for taking the time to be informative with your comment. Much Respect
Hi, Big Guy. My boss just moved into the new century. Please walk me through how you can manually turn tax on and off this machine, please.
That was super fun.
Thank you Darwin, It was super fun to make as well...
Would you still recommend this product? Any issues with with connectivity?
I still love it and use it today. I will say other forms of payment have become useful since I did this video but this is still my go to when all else fails. Well this and Cash. Zelle and my booking App are now the other 2 ways I receive payments when I am not using square. No Service fee on Zelle and you get a good record of where the sale came from. Square just shows one lump sum and says square deposit. Zelle put the name of the person who sends each payment. to answer your question in short... I still love using the Square and would still recommend. Much Respect
Killer review, thanks!
Thank you... one of my favorite videos... Much Respect
Yeah! I'm about to get this.
I was hoping to see how the payments goes to your personal phone/ bank account
It goes to my bank account typically the next business day
Thank you man I’m starting my own business and need one of these the my you it’s 299$ though right now or finance it
It’s worth it. I paid 399 when I got mine and I still feel like it’s worth it.
Going to have to do this. Thank you.
When someone pays me in the POS, then the money goes to squareup. After that, can I transfer money from squareup to PayPal? Can I
Square puts it directly in my Checking account with my bank.
Great video!
Thank you, Much Respect
I am trying to decide if I should use Square. I need a cash register and was thinking about getting an i-pad to use the Square program. Would I still need the terminal you just reviewed or does the stand come with a credit card terminal?
Thank you Rebecca for both watching and leaving comment... I am pretty sure you could set a cash drawer and a bar code scanner up to this... it has a USB hub that goes with it I just never used it so I forgot to put it in the video... I would not do the IPad... I did it that way and just slows everything down when you are using the Ipad for other things... Software updates from both Square and Apple... I never have to worry about updates with this one... it all comes from one place Square... Once again thanks for watching and even more for leaving a comment... They mean a lot to me... Much Respect and Stay Safe.
Amazing Voice, Great Review, I will purchase thank you!
Barbie, Amazing Comment.... You just made my day... Thank you and Good Morning... Much Respect and Stay Safe you will enjoy your purchase I know I do... Thanks again
Thanx.you helped me choose xxx
Thank you
Great video. Thanks
Thank you for both watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Much Respect
It is possible to block other people to look through your transaction? I know it has users, but I don't know if you can block other users from seeing that financial information since I have employees. Thanks for the awesome vid.
Maria, I believe you can, when I had the larger device. I use to see Square (on their site) Videos showing how you could use it with multiple business locations... I could not see how you would not want to hide your information in a situation like that. This device seems like it would be a good add in to a system. Now I am telling you, I am not sure because I, and I alone use mine. I wish I had more reasons to use it and more people to use it for... lol it would mean more money for me... lol but I will tell you this my clients are loving this thing. And this that dont understand touch-less systems yet... that is me... I have it in my shop but I never pay for anything with my phone... call me old school, set in my ways, or lazy... I’m just getting comfortable with using Cards, lol why I want to put it in my phone... My wallet stay with me... I hate phones, lol... Maria my bad I am good at talking peoples ear off before hitting the pool... you had perfect timing and I thank you for that. Comments make my day... You just did that... Thank you for watching, even more for leaving a comment. Much Respect and Stay Safe
Honestly now I want one
I love Mine. still one of the best things i bought for the shop
Thank you brother !!
Thank you Raveen. Much Respect
This sounds like a good addition to also using sites like upwork for consulting services that require escrow.
Does it work wirelessly? On the go
The iPad versión is Square app running on iOS, the Square terminal is Square app running on Android on Kiosk mode
incredible review. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
It's been three years. Do you still like it?
I still (Love) it. It does not feel like it has been that long, but it has. I still use it though I will say not as often as I use to. Now Most of my payments run through my booking app now. this still comes in very handy for times where other payment options are needed. I still use it every work day. hope this helped but now there are things like Zelle, cash app and others.

The receipt printer is a thermal printer
How do you deal with chargebacks? I'm brand new to this.
Thank you for sharing im a small business owner a vender so at flea-market and events i don't have electricity how does this work for me also I hope I can do this looks easy but idk I take venmo but not everyone does venmo thanks
Did you ever figure out how to have your items by category on this instead of scrolling though all of the items? thanks for the review
Great review! I loved my Square terminal - until the screen cracked out of warranty! Square offers NO REPAIR SERVICES. You're stuck buying another $300 terminal if you're even a day out of warranty. They will offer nothing to help ease the pain of having to purchase a brand new terminal, either - no coupon, discount or anything - even though you can be certain they could take your terminal in trade and refurbish it. So, as much as I LOVED my terminal, I won't purchase another. :(
I completely understand. I love mine so much I never move it. There is one on the train 🚂 that I drive part time. It is new and not doing nearly as well as mine. I think mine is 5 years old now. If I had to I would buy another in a heartbeat. I love mine. Even this video alone has paid for the cost several times over. I could not be without it in my business. Set and forget makes me feel like I am doing big business
I hope you find a way to continue on smoothly no matter what you choose.
Thanks for watching and take the time to leave a heartfelt comment. Much respect
You sold us!
Is there a way to take only custom tips to where the terminal does not suggest an amount on screen?
bro has it ever failed on you? like froze or the wifi wouldnt connect? I have seen many horror story reviews online of this happening
CodeName, Much Respect for Watching and leaving a comment... To answer your question... NO! I dont think I have had a problem with this device not once in the time that I have had it... to tell you the truth this thing has been the best investment I have ever made... not joking... just the video alone has paid for itself and I put a charge on using a card... per transaction... it has paid for itself 3 or for times that way i am sure... the cool thing is I could tell you just how much it has made me in the 2 years I have owned it... This thing has been the best investment I have made... nothing and I mean nothing has come close... not joking... I love this thing...Square pays/paid me nothing to say or do any of it.... that how you know its true... Much Respect Stay Safe
I actually just watched another video that says if you dont have internet that you can go to settings and switch to OFF LINE mode.. and still check people out...as soon as you are connected to the internet the payments will automatically go through and be completed.
Does it need wifi? Or does it connect using Bluetooth to a phone?
I use WiFi with it... you can hard wire it with Cat 5 or 6 Cable... I don’t know if you can connect it to your phone or not. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Much Respect and Stay Safe.
Is this just for iPhone or is it also compatible with android
Both
great job on the review!
Thanks! Means A Lot... Much Respect
Great review. Thanks!
Thank you Jeff
Gonna get one !
I really think you should. I love mine so easy to use and so much faster. thanks for taking the time to watch.
Were you ever able to figure out how to not have all services on the main page or were you able to do it by category?
Mike, I went through the App and set everything up, not hard at all. I do not use as many categories as most people will do with it... It was very easy to set up and I have had no problems with it since I switched over to it... I hope my reply was as helpful to you as you watching and commenting was to me... thank you, comments mean a lot... Much Respect to you and Stay Safe...
You got me sold!
Does the offline mode work well if wi-fi goes down?
Love this video made me want to buy
Tashi, I loved this Comment... Made me what to do another video... Much Respect, thank you for watching and even more for taking the time to leave a comment... Means the world to me.... Stay Safe
I think your voice alone sold me on this product haha
Thanks Timothy... Your Comment Just Made My Day... Thank you for watching and even more for leaving such a Kick Butt Comment... Much Respect and Stay Safe... I love my Square and its still going strong without a single problem.
Hi! How are you still liking your Square terminal? Thanks 😊
I love it still
@@shawspeaks8252
Great to hear! I can't wait to use my terminal! 😀
Do you need to connect it to WIFI? I have a business on the go and I don't have a shop?
Brave, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I believe you can take payment offline but you will need to connect to the internet at some point for the transaction to go through. I have never done it like that before, but I have heard that it can be used offline... I love mine, but I do keep mine in a shop... Great device no problems out of it yet. Much Respect and stay safe
My reader disconnects all the time and frankly it's gotten tiresome. Considering this as an option.
Thanks for the overview…
I ran into that issue ,the customers was a mag strip only .The mag reader will be nice to have
Hi! Do you know if you have the square stand can you use the terminal as a second screen for client to check out on?
Thats a good question... really good question... sorry I don’t know the answer. that would be very helpful but I would say it would be easier to just pick up the device and turn it... wipe it down with a wet wipe after each use... dont let them handle just have them touch the screen... Sorry I couldn’t be more help... Thanks again for watching and even more for taking the time to leave a comment... Much Respect to you and stay safe
Will this open a cash register?
Or is there any way to set it up to work that way?
