One stop for all your payments needs
From hardware to payment flow configuration, security to compliance, Square is the single source for all your payments needs. Our hardware comes EMV compliant and we take on the burden of staying PCI compliant, which means you don’t have to worry about assessment fees or potential expensive data breach fines. Every update we make to the payment flow and accepted payment types is packaged with the Square Reader SDK.
With hundreds of billions processed, Square is the standard for in-person payments.
Security and compliance
Every transaction is encrypted end to end. Our machine-learning systems stay ahead of fraud trends and help keep your funds safe. Security is built into our products from the ground up and our hardware products are also EMV compliant.
Scalability and integrations
Programmatically deploy your app to thousands of devices and take payments. Integrate with your enterprise business solutions, including your CRM, OMS, ERP, and more.
Payments and disputes
Square stays up to date with the latest payment technologies, including NFC, and provides fast deposits. We also support payment dispute resolution free of additional charge.
Create unlimited solutions including:
- Line-busting mobile retail solutions
- Transportation terminals
- Self-service kiosks
- Custom points of sale
“The Square Reader SDK allows an engineer who has zero domain knowledge in payments to build a secure, compliant solution that has hardware talking to apps. It lets developers do what they’re good at while Square can do what it’s good at.”
