Oliver POS vs Square

Oliver POS vs Square POS

WooCommerce-native vs Square's walled-garden ecosystem.

Tingnan ang Oliver POSPagpepresyo

Ang maikling bersyon

Square is the most popular general-purpose POS for small business in the US. It's easy to start, but it locks you into Square's ecosystem — Square Online for e-commerce, Square Payments for processing, Square Online Store as your only website option. If you already have a WooCommerce store, leaving Woo for Square means rebuilding it. Oliver POS lets you keep WooCommerce and extend it to the shop floor.

Pinakamainam para sa

Brand-new merchants with no existing e-commerce stack.

Hindi gaanong angkop para sa

Anyone with an existing WooCommerce store, a need for flexible processor choice, or aspirations to migrate platforms later.

Pagpepresyo

Square POS is free for the register but takes 2.6% + 10¢ per card transaction. Oliver starts at $49/year with your choice of processor.

Mga madalas itanong

Why pick Oliver instead of Square if I'm starting from scratch?
If you're truly starting from scratch with no e-commerce store, Square is easier on day one. But WooCommerce + Oliver gives you more control on day 100. You own your store, you can change processors, and you can extend with 60,000+ WordPress plugins. Square has none of those advantages.
Can I migrate from Square to Oliver later?
Yes, and we do these migrations regularly. Square exports your products, customers, and orders; we import into WooCommerce; Oliver POS picks up where Square left off. Plan a few weekends.
