GetJewelryPOS vs Square
Square is quick to start, has a Free plan, and bundles card payments and an online store. Many small jewelers begin there. GetJewelryPOS is built for jewelry counters, so repair job sheets, layaway, gold pricing by weight and karat, old gold exchange and certificate fields are in every plan. This page sets the two side by side, including where Square is stronger.

Square
