Payment solutions for golf pro shops

How each solution supports golf pro shops

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

Square for Retail

For golf pro shops: Connect sports equipment, uniforms and team orders to a retail catalog, stock tracking and customer purchase history. Square describes Square for Retail as a POS to "sell more and stay stocked with a POS designed for retail." For golf pro shops, that means clubs, balls and apparel tracked in one catalog with stock synced between the counter and online. Roots Payments, an independent Square Reseller, builds the catalog, configures the plan and hardware, and supports your team after launch.
  • Import and clean up your catalog of clubs, balls and apparel
  • Map your workflow to Square Free, Plus or Premium before you commit
  • Configure barcode labels, scanners, printers and cash drawers

Square Inventory

For golf pro shops: Track sports equipment, uniforms and team orders with item-level stock records and replenishment workflows. Golf pro shops carry clubs, balls and apparel, and small counting errors turn into lost sales or dead stock. Square's inventory tools track stock in real time, print barcode labels and report COGS, sell-through and aging stock. Roots Payments builds the item structure and counting routine so the numbers stay right.
  • Design variants and SKUs so reports roll up correctly
  • Set up vendors, reorder points and purchase orders
  • Label existing stock and run the first full count with you

For golf pro shops: Give customers an online storefront for sports equipment, uniforms and team orders, with ordering and fulfillment choices suited to your business. Square Online gives golf pro shops a website with pickup, shipping and local delivery, and Square says in-store sales, online orders and inventory connect automatically. That keeps clubs, balls and apparel from overselling across channels. Roots Payments builds the store, product pages and shipping rules.

Square Integrations

For golf pro shops: Connect Square transaction data with the tools used to manage equipment stock, sizes and team-order invoices, reducing repeated data entry. Square's App Marketplace connects the POS to accounting, ecommerce and other tools. Accounting sync is the most common; ecommerce sync matters if you also sell on another platform. Roots Payments picks the apps, connects them and checks that data lands correctly.
  • Recommend apps from Square's App Marketplace
  • Connect and map accounts, taxes and categories

Cash Discount Program

For golf pro shops: Design a clearly presented cash-price program for sports equipment, uniforms and team orders, with checkout wording and receipts aligned. A cash discount program shows a card price and a lower cash price so customers who pay cash save. Shops with thin margins and lots of card sales see the biggest savings. Roots Payments sets up compliant signage, receipts and pricing.
  • Check your state's rules first
  • Set up pricing, signage and receipts
  • Train staff to explain it

Credit Card Surcharging

For golf pro shops: Plan credit-card surcharge disclosures for sports equipment, uniforms and team orders, keeping eligible card payments distinct at checkout. Surcharging adds a fee to credit card payments to offset processing costs. It's banned on debit cards, capped by card-brand rules and restricted in some states. It can offset fees on large tickets, but some customers dislike it, so we compare it with a cash discount first. Roots Payments sets it up to the rules or tells you when it's not a fit.
  • Check your state's surcharge rules
  • Register the program with the card brands where required
  • Set up signage and receipt disclosures
