How each solution supports cell phone repair shops

See what each option adds to the way your business takes and tracks payments.

Square for Retail

For cell phone repair shops: Connect electronics, accessories and replacement parts to a retail catalog, stock tracking and customer purchase history. Square pitches its retail POS as a way to "sell more and stay stocked with a POS designed for retail." Real-time stock, barcode checkout and vendor purchase orders cover the day-to-day of most phone repair shops. Roots Payments, an independent Square Reseller, sets it up and supports it for phone repair shops.
  • Recommend the Square plan and device mix for your store size and number of locations
  • Import and clean your catalog: SKUs, variants, barcodes, categories, taxes and vendor costs
  • Set up employee roles, passcodes and permissions before launch

Square Inventory

For cell phone repair shops: Track electronics, accessories and replacement parts with item-level stock records and replenishment workflows. Square says its retail inventory tools let you "spend less time tracking stock and more time selling." Parts for dozens of phone models are easier to reorder with Square's vendor purchase orders and low-stock alerts. We set up the catalog, vendors and reorder rules so counts are right from day one.
  • Structure items, variants and units of measure so counts match how you buy and sell
  • Load vendors, costs and reorder points from your existing spreadsheets
  • Print and apply barcode labels for untagged stock

Square Integrations

For cell phone repair shops: Connect Square transaction data with the tools used to manage device identifiers, repair tickets and parts stock, reducing repeated data entry.

We pick the right apps, connect them and test the data flow.
  • Audit your current tools and map what should connect
  • Install and configure marketplace apps
  • Test syncs so sales, stock and taxes line up

Cash Discount Program

For cell phone repair shops: Design a clearly presented cash-price program for electronics, accessories and device repairs, with checkout wording and receipts aligned. A cash discount program posts the card price and gives cash-paying customers a discount. Thin margins at phone repair shops make card fees a real line item, and cash discounting shifts that cost where the law allows. We set up pricing, signage and receipts correctly.
  • Check your state's rules before launch
  • Configure dual pricing on terminals and receipts
  • Provide signage and staff scripts
