Square Introduces Integrated Omnichannel Business Solutions
Square, the world's most trusted software, payments, and hardware system for companies of all sizes, has launched in Ireland today. Following the popularity of Square's Early Access Program, all merchants and businesses in Ireland can now use Square's revolutionary ecosystem to start, run, grow, and adapt their businesses.
In Ireland, Square is launching a comprehensive suite of integrated business solutions for the first time in a new market. Square's solutions are designed to work together to save companies time and money, reduce inefficiencies caused by maintaining multiple systems, and assist dealers in growing their businesses in the future. Furthermore, Square's market platform and payment processing pricing are realistic, straightforward, and merchant-friendly, with no long-term contracts or extra costs. At no additional cost, Square handles fraud prevention, dispute resolution, security, and compliance. Businesses will get their money as quickly as the next business day and just have to pay a transaction fee when they accept a card or mobile payment.
With Square's advanced suite of products, Irish businesses can now sell online, in-person, or both, including:
Square opens in Ireland with two point-of-sale app products and three flexible hardware devices, including fully optimized POS software, reliable and secure payments acceptance, and a unified transparent processing rate of 1.75% on all card-present transactions to all smartphone and brick-and-mortar businesses.
