It works well with the EFTPOS machine (which charges the client a 1.95% surcharge on credit card transactions). However, I've been asking them about forwarding the payment surcharge to the client for online transactions. Our transaction amounts range from tens to thousands, so when a client pays online, they simply pay the invoice amount—but then Square charges us 2.2% of the transaction! That means we end up paying hundreds of dollars in fees for invoices in the thousands.

i have come across some issues while using these products the correct way and the team at Amako have been very helpful in correcting the integration and helping me understand how it all works!

The integration, using Amaka, has changed three times within the last year - the last two times without notification. The integration creates gl accounts within Xero - to which I strenuously object - without notification or permission. It does not report sales tax correctly either. After the initial setup, there is no documentation on how to use nor how data is being placed in the new accounts and what to do with them. Finally, we killed the integration. It is much, much easier to run monthly reports and enter data into a worksheet to calculate manual journal entries. What a shame. Instead of making life easier, it makes it more difficult.

Loads of issues, read all reviews before diving in.

The feed from Square continues to export the fees and bank transfers to Xero, but stopped exporting the daily invoices. Very frustrating experience.

The new method of transferring the taxes collected from square, makes the sales tax reporting in Xero unusable. When I spoke with Xero, they claimed that they switched to third party provider (Amaka) that could offer better service, and that I would need to speak to them. When I asked Amaka (Square) They said that they made accounts for each tax rate, but that the sales will no longer have the sales tax rate applied to the invoice making the reporting in Xero non-functional.
