Why Small Businesses Are Ditching Square in 2025

In 2025, more small businesses than ever are rethinking how they accept payments — and one name keeps coming up: Square. Once the go-to for simplicity, many business owners are realizing that convenience comes at a steep cost.

Why Square Is Losing Ground

Square's flat fees, limited support, and one-size-fits-all approach don't scale well. Business owners are paying 2.6% or more per swipe and receiving generic service with little room for customization or negotiation.

The Fees Are No Longer Justified

In a competitive economy, every percentage point matters. A small business processing $30,000/month may lose over $9,000/year in fees. With smarter solutions available, those losses are avoidable.

Merchants Are Moving to Tailored Solutions

Today's business owners are switching to providers that offer:

• No-fee cash discount programs
• Real support from actual reps
• POS systems tailored for retail, smoke shops, and food service

Conclusion

If you're still with Square, you're likely overpaying and under-supported. Make 2025 the year you switch to a payment system built for your business — not just one that looks easy.
