SnapCart vs. Square Online
A simple Square Online alternative.
Square Online is a website builder tied to Square’s payments. If you want a store that’s live from one photo, takes Venmo and Cash App, and works at your market table without hardware, SnapCart is the shorter path.
What you get
No site to build
No pages, sections or themes. Your products are the store.
Venmo and Cash App at checkout
Apple Pay, cards, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App and cash, so shoppers use what they already have.
In person without a reader
A QR code on your table opens the same store, and shoppers pay on their own phone.
Products from a photo
Snap your products; the listings fill in for you to check.
Delivery by zip code
Free local delivery to the zip codes you choose, flat-rate shipping, or pickup.
Reports you’ll read
Sales by day, how people paid, and best sellers, on your phone.
See it on a phone
A store made for phones, with nothing to design.
Apple Pay, cards, Venmo and Cash App in one checkout.
Online and in-person orders together.
