We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy. So we’re building tools that make commerce easier and more accessible to all. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there. Our new readers help our sellers accept chip cards and NFC payments, our POS software makes selling easy and our ecosystem of other products like Capital, Marketing, Payroll, Loyalty and Online Store help make being an independent business easy.

Our hardware team started with a little white reader that enabled anyone to take credit cards with their phone or tablet. We now have a full product range of readers, Square Stand and our newest product Square Register. Square Register is an all in one, two screen device that our team designed and built from the ground up. On our hardware team we aim to build emotion evoking, highly usable products that help our customers start, run and grow their business.
