Catalog kept in sync everywhere
Stock levels, pricing, and item details stay consistent between Square and every other system that sells the same inventory, not just the register.

Square Takes the Payment at the Counter. We Pick Up From There.
Square is point-of-sale and payment acceptance built for taking a payment in person, by phone, online, or through a card reader at a pop-up, hardware and software working together out of the box. We don't sell or set up your Square hardware. We build what connects Square's sales data to the rest of your business once it's running, inventory, staffing, marketing, whatever currently depends on someone checking Square's dashboard and retyping the numbers somewhere else.
Square takes payment anywhere, but connecting sales to accounting, inventory and the CRM is left to you.
Got a Square problem? Let's solve it →What we build on top of Square
Inventory and catalog sync across channels. A sale at one register updates stock everywhere else that sells the same item, an online store, a second location, a wholesale system, instead of someone reconciling counts by hand at closing.
Sales-driven staffing signals. Square's own sales and shift data feeding a scheduling or payroll system directly, so labor hours get checked against what actually sold instead of a manager cross-referencing two separate reports.
Customer and marketing triggers. A first-time customer's Square purchase automatically starting a follow-up sequence in whatever CRM or email tool the business already uses, instead of a loyalty program nobody remembers to run manually.
Follow-up on payments that don't finish cleanly. A failed recurring Square charge, or an online order that stalls mid-checkout, triggers a retry or a notification on its own instead of quietly disappearing until a customer asks about it.

Sales data feeding staffing and payroll
Hours and labor costs checked against actual Square sales automatically, instead of someone pulling two reports and comparing them by hand.

What are you still exporting out of Square by hand?
Tell us what you're currently pulling out of Square's dashboard and retyping somewhere else, and we'll look at whether it can just flow there directly.
One of our recent projects
Three-Location Cafe Group
Square at every register, items also sold online.
The problemA price change at one register has to be repeated in the online menu and the inventory sheet, and the three drift apart.
Item prices, stock and details stay consistent between Square and the other systems selling the same items. One change reaches all of them.

Running Square at the counter and still exporting numbers into something else by hand?
Tell us what Square data you're currently pulling out and retyping somewhere else, inventory counts, staffing hours, customer follow-up, and we'll work out which parts can just flow there directly. Square's only this page's example. The same question is worth asking about anything else in the business that still runs on someone copying numbers between two screens.
Let's talk →Questions people ask
What is Square?
A payment processing and point-of-sale company: it sells card readers and POS hardware and software for accepting payments in person, plus online checkout and invoicing tools, so a business can run its point of sale and its processing under one account instead of stitching hardware to a separate processor.
How much does Square cost?
Square's point-of-sale software has a free plan, with processing fees applying per transaction on top of whatever plan you're using. Pricing varies by how the payment comes in, in person, online, or keyed in manually, and by plan tier, so check Square's own pricing page for the current rate rather than a number that might be out of date.
Can I accept Square payments by phone or online, not just in person?
Yes. Square supports keyed-in payments over the phone, an online checkout through Square Online or payment links, and in-person card readers, all under the same account, so a business isn't locked into counter-only sales.
Does Square support EBT payments?
Yes, for businesses that qualify under the rules for EBT acceptance, typically grocery and certain other retail categories, through a setup that's separate from a standard card swipe.
Can I set up recurring or subscription payments with Square?
Yes, through Square's invoicing or subscription plan tools, which charge a saved card on a schedule automatically. Anything conditional beyond its standard plans, proration or usage-based billing, usually needs something built on top.
Does Square integrate with QuickBooks?
Yes, through an official connector. See our QuickBooks + Square integration guide for what it actually syncs, or our QuickBooks vs. Square comparison if you're weighing the two against each other.
