Square makes eCommerce play

Australian businesses can now accept online card payments via a new eCommerce feature launched by Square. Square, founded by Jack Dorsey, a name you may associate with twitter, began as a way for small businesses to accept point-of-sale payments on their smartphone or tablet. Square gains an advantage over competition by having a fully integrated omni-channel system. Square is new to the Australian market, but has already seen growth.

Key Takeaways:

• US-based payments provider Square has launched a new eCommerce feature making it possible for Australian businesses to accept online card payments.
• The API for eCommerce allows sellers and developers to integrate their websites with Square to process payments online.
• The company has also partnered with popular eCommerce platforms, including BigCommerce, Weebly, Ecwid, Wix, WooCommerce and Magento, which means online retailers can now offer Square as an online payment option.
