How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Square names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Analytics. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Square also lists Toast POS, Lightspeed, Clover, Shopify POS, Vend as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
