Square has a robust suite of Point of Sale products, including those that are free to get started (Square Point of Sale) and those that are premium solutions that are purpose-built for specific industries like restaurants, retail, and services. Powering all these products is a shared point of sale product-platform team called Point of Sale Ecosystem (aka “XPOS”), who builds common features, UI components and technical frameworks that are integrated into every Point of Sale product. This approach helps accelerate development and time-to-launch across the full Point of Sale ecosystem, and allows Square to offer new features and services to sellers in a scalable and efficient way.
