Four reasons pet stores look for a Square alternative
1
You want your own processor
Square’s POS runs on Square Payments. GetPetStorePOS works alongside the processor or acquirer you choose.
2
You groom
Instead of Square Appointments next to the retail POS, the grooming book is inside the register.
3
Food is your repeat business
Repeat orders, pet profiles and best-by dates are built in.
4
You are in the UAE or Pakistan
Square is not available there; we price in AED and PKR.

Square alternative: questions
What is the best Square alternative for a pet store?
One that keeps Square’s simplicity but adds pet-store features. GetPetStorePOS includes food subscriptions, pet profiles, loyalty, best-by dates and grooming from $39 a month per store.
How hard is it to switch from Square?
Export your items and customers as CSV, send them to us, and we import them for free. Most stores switch in a day.
Will I lose my sales history?
Keep your Square export for records; bring across products, customers and loyalty balances. Historic sales usually stay in the old system’s export.
Can I use my existing hardware?
Printers, scanners and cash drawers that use standard connections usually work. Square-specific readers do not.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 30 days, no card.
Do you have a free plan like Square?
No. We charge a flat monthly fee and take nothing from your card sales.
Switch without losing your regulars.
We import your customers and loyalty balances so nobody starts from zero.
