About Square

Square has evolved alongside modern commerce since 2009, growing from a payments platform into an integrated business ecosystem. Its tools help sellers operate across online and in-person channels, manage stock, offer buy now pay later options, schedule appointments, reward loyal customers, and handle hiring and payroll. Financial services are built into the point of sale so merchants can access lending and cash flow tools in one place. Through Afterpay and other products, the company aims to help sellers scale, reach more shoppers, grow order values, and compete effectively.

The business supports sellers ranging from early-stage merchants to large, complex enterprises, and continues to expand its offerings as customer needs grow.
