‘We used to handwrite every order in our account book, so there were constant errors and inventory issues before we switched to Square. Now that we have a reliable POS system, we are planning to expand our stores not only in Sydney, but across Australia.’

‘Our online store is an extension of our physical space, which means it’s so important that our inventory management is streamlined between the two. With Square, I can easily tailor the in-store and digital approach accordingly.’

‘Whenever I receive a new shipment of stock I’m able to log all of the units of that shipment and keep track of all of the stock. I can see what’s running out, what’s most popular, what we need to re-stock and it’s all right there in front of me.’

FAQs
What is a retail POS system?
A retail POS (point of sale) system is the software and hardware that helps businesses process sales, accept payments, manage inventory and track customer data — all from one platform. It replaces traditional cash registers with smarter, connected tools that support both in store and online operations.
Square Point of Sale is a modern retail POS system that goes beyond payments. It helps you manage inventory, sync with your eCommerce store, track sales and staff performance, and deliver seamless customer experiences so your business runs efficiently and continues to grow.
How do I switch from my current retail POS solution?
It’s simple and fast to sign up for Square. If you currently use Lightspeed Retail, Shopify POS, or another similar retail POS system, Square will likely fit your needs with a user-friendly interface. Just select your plan, sign up, and import your inventory. You can easily transfer your existing inventory with bulk intake importing.
You can rely on transparent pricing and no lock-in- contracts. And if you need help, Square Support is here for you.
Can I upgrade my plan?
You can upgrade from the Free plan to the Plus plan by subscribing to it here. You’ll be able to utilise all existing features, and you’ll only have to set up the added functionality included with your upgrade. After your 30-day free trial, you’ll be given the option to pick your plan. If you don’t choose one, you’ll automatically be downgraded to the Free plan.
To upgrade to the custom Premium plan, contact our sales team.
Can I downgrade my plan?
You always have the option to downgrade your subscription from Plus to Free in your Dashboard. When you downgrade, you’ll see messaging in your Dashboard letting you know which features you’ll lose, like certain smart inventory management features, multi-location stock management, and barcode label printing. You can see and compare plan features on our pricing page.
You can also pause your subscription at any time from your Dashboard. When you pause a subscription, you will not be billed. You can resume at any time and your account will be ready for you without losing your past data.
