Editor's take
Best for
Retail, food, mobile, or in-person service businesses that need fast payment acceptance. Best-in-class hardware + POS.
Not worth it if
You are online-only (Stripe is cheaper) or high-ticket B2B (dedicated merchant account beats Square).
Context
No vet-specific discount but often mentioned in vet-founder resources because of ease of setup and no monthly minimum.
