WooCommerce Square

im missing sales due to i dont know what. if it aint broke, dont fix it!

Everything was great until the next day. Twenty hours after installation, the media gallery showed over 700 copies of the wc-square-gift-card-placeholder.png and growing. It was multiplying like bunnies. A support ticket to Automatic got a few responses. Once they mentioned that this was a known bug and they would make a note of it, they stopped answering emails. Upon some digging, this “bug” has been “known” for quite a while. They should pull this plugin off until it is fixed. This topic was modified 1 month, 2 weeks ago by daphnetalbot.

A Masterclass in Frustration Adding to the already detailed negative review, here’s a compilation of further criticisms based on widespread feedback from other users across various platforms: Square for WooCommerce Review: A Masterclass in Frustration The Square for WooCommerce plugin is not just a disappointment; it’s an outright failure in modern e-commerce solutions. This integration supposedly designed to simplify the management of online and physical stores instead multiplies the workload and exasperates its users. Many users echo the sentiment that this plugin remains perpetually in a beta state, never fully delivering on its promises. Retailers find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of managing dual inventories manually due to the plugin’s inability to selectively sync products. If you have more than a handful of products or operate multiple locations, this plugin becomes a hinderance rather than a help. A common grievance among the users is the plugin’s poor handling of product images and descriptions, requiring store owners to update each platform individually—defeating the purpose of an integration meant to save time. This issue is compounded by the plugin’s notorious single-image limitation, which necessitates additional uploads for every product, an archaic feature that users find bewildering in the age of multi-media online retail. The lack of integration for Square Loyalty is another sore point. Customers cannot view or redeem their loyalty points on WooCommerce, creating a disjointed experience that undermines customer retention strategies and complicates marketing efforts. The handling of taxes is particularly problematic. The plugin’s inability to manage inclusive tax options properly has led to incorrect charges at checkout, infuriating customers and complicating financial reporting for businesses. This issue is especially critical in regions with stringent tax compliance regulations. Support—or the lack thereof—has been a major point of contention. User forums and review sites are awash with complaints about the non-responsive and unhelpful support team, which often resorts to generic responses. The overwhelming feeling is one of abandonment, with users feeling left to fend for themselves amidst a sea of unresolved issues and unaddressed bugs. Perhaps the most damning feedback comes from the long wait times for essential updates. The glacial pace at which improvements are made, if ever, suggests a lack of commitment from the developers. The addition of Gift Cards, a basic feature that took over eight years to implement, is frequently cited as emblematic of the plugin’s slow and unresponsive development cycle. In sum, the Square for WooCommerce plugin is widely regarded as a liability rather than an asset. The litany of unresolved issues, combined with sluggish updates and ineffective support, has led many users to seek alternatives. As a solution partner and retailer, the consensus is clear: this plugin is unfit for serious e-commerce and should be avoided by any retailer who values efficiency, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
