Payanywhere and Square both offer solid payment processing solutions, but Square is the clear winner.
If you want reliable transactions, better software, and an easy-to-use platform, Square is your best bet.
Payanywhere has some appealing perks, like lower in-person transaction fees and free basic hardware, but it falls short on reliability, integrations, and customer support.
If you're serious about running a business, you need a payment processor that won’t give you headaches.
And from everything I’ve tested, Square delivers a smoother experience.
If you're looking for the best way to manage sales, here’s the quick answer: 64% of retailers now use POS systems because they go beyond just processing payments.
A POS system isn’t just a fancy cash register—it tracks inventory, stores customer data, and helps you understand buying trends. That means less manual work, fewer errors, and better sales insights.
Now, is it worth switching from a traditional cash register? If you want real-time inventory updates and a clearer picture of your customers’ habits, then yes.
Cost? It depends. There are budget-friendly options with monthly plans or high-end systems with premium features.
And if you're wondering whether small businesses should invest in one—absolutely. The right POS system can save time, reduce mistakes, and help you grow.
Bottom line: If you want to scale, keep up with technology, and make smarter sales decisions, a POS system is worth considering.

As an ecommerce business owner I’ve tried many platforms to run an online store. Shopify and Shopify Plus are two that come up in every conversation. While they share the same foundation they serve different business needs and sizes.
