Direct answer
If your needs have grown beyond taking payments, NiyuSuite is an alternative that connects the point of sale to purchasing, stock, accounting, CRM and email marketing, so the till is one part of one system.
Why people look for a Square alternative
- You need purchase orders, receiving and multi-location stock rather than just a product list.
- Your books are reconciled from POS reports by hand.
- You want customers, loyalty and marketing tied to what people actually buy.
How NiyuSuite compares with Square
| NiyuSuite | Square (typical) | |
|---|---|---|
| Checkout | Multi-terminal, offline mode, weighed items, gift cards, layby, loyalty | Checkout, payments and hardware are its core strength |
| Purchasing and warehouse | Suppliers, purchase orders, receiving, putaway, picking | Inventory included; warehouse-style operations and deeper purchasing may need other tools |
| Accounting | General ledger, GST and BAS built in | Integrates with accounting packages |
| CRM and email | Included from the Growth plan | Marketing tools sold separately |
| Card payments | No markup added by NiyuSuite on card payments | Payments are bundled with the platform |
| Pricing | From $39 a month | See Square for current plans and fees |
What you get with NiyuSuite instead
- A till that keeps working offline and queues sales until you are back online.
- Purchasing, stock and warehouse on the same numbers the till sells from.
- A ledger, customer record and email campaigns that update from every sale.
When Square is the better choice
If you run a single small shop, want the simplest possible setup, and value payments and hardware from one provider, Square can be the better and cheaper fit. Consider NiyuSuite when stock, accounts and customers have become hard to keep in step.
Moving from Square
- Export your product list and customers from Square as CSV files.
- We load them, set up your categories and tax codes, and configure your registers.
- Run a trading day in parallel if you wish, then switch your tills over.
Onboarding and data migration is a one-off $350 to $1,500 depending on the amount of data.
