Square Online
Online ordering and ecommerce that stays in step with the register, ideal for restaurants and retailers already on Square.
The right answer for businesses already running Square at the counter.
Why Square Online
If you already run Square at the counter, this is usually the right choice, and the reason is simple: your menu, inventory, and orders live in one system.
That sounds like a technical detail. In practice it helps prevent a customer from ordering something that sold out at the counter that morning.
We are a Square Online certified agency and have built stores for restaurants and retailers across New Mexico and beyond.
What it does well
- Online ordering, pickup, and local delivery, connected to the register
- Menus and inventory your staff can edit without maintaining a separate catalog
- Gift card support within the same commerce system
- One payment system for in-person and online, so reconciliation is not a monthly chore
- A shorter path to launch than a fully custom store in many cases
What to know before choosing it
Design flexibility is limited. You are working within Square’s templates. They are clean and professional, but if the look is the whole point, Webflow gives more room.
It works best if you are already on Square. If you use a different point-of-sale system, the main advantage disappears and Shopify or Webflow may fit better.
Transaction fees apply, as with any payment processor.
Where we have used it
The Bean in New York and Peasant Pies in San Francisco both run on Square Online, the latter migrated across from Wix.
What happens next
If you take payments through Square and your website does not talk to it, getting the two in step is usually quicker and cheaper than people expect.
