Square API

Square provides businesses with a range of solutions for accepting and processing electronic payments. The main functionality of the platform is designed for the e-commerce sector and includes a set of payment tools for both online and offline stores. The company's priority product is the Square Reader terminal-card reader. With its help, entrepreneurs can accept payments by bank cards through a regular smartphone or tablet (iOS, Android).

In this way, Square allows businesses to process credit and debit card payments through the Square POS app. There are also turnkey service packages for online merchants, including tools for online payments and delivery of goods. The service can be used both for a new business and integrated with existing sites. Another Square service is the processing of remote payments: stores create and send invoices to customers, and they pay them by card or bank transfer. Finally, there are also direct transfers through the application or website of the service.

Another useful Square tool is the built-in CRM platform integrated with the payment acceptance and processing module. With its help, entrepreneurs can quickly and easily organize their customer base, track every purchase across all channels they use, provide feedback, and more. Separately, it is worth noting the option of segmenting customers according to different criteria, which allows using this data for marketing campaigns.

Since 2015, Square has been providing the CashApp mobile application, with which users of the service can send P2P transfers to each other. An important tool of the platform is the Square Developer module: https://developer.squareup.com/us/en It allows you to integrate Square functionality with external software via an API in order to receive and track orders through third-party sites and web applications, and then send them to points of sale. Integration also allows you to embed all available payment methods in the interface of third-party sites or applications.

Successful API integration requires programming skills. However, you can simplify and speed up this task by running a ready-made bundle of systems through the convenient web interface of the ApiX-Drive application connector service.
