In-App Payments SDK rounds out Square’s
omnichannel payments platform, making Square the only provider with
first-party products across online, in-person, and mobile app
payments
Today Square (NYSE: SQ) announced the launch of the Square
In-App Payments Software Development Kit (SDK), enabling developers
and sellers to process payments with Square within their
consumer-facing mobile apps for the first time. With just a few
lines of code, developers can easily and professionally build a
fully PCI compliant, secure, and elegant Square-powered payments
flow in their Android or iOS apps. With this SDK, developers leave
the complexity of payments to Square and focus instead on providing
a delightful buyer experience. The In-App Payments SDK is available
for iOS, Android, and Flutter starting today in the United States,
Canada, UK, Australia, and Japan.

The In-App Payments SDK provides a customizable payments flow
that works with the most popular payment types. The SDK includes a
beautifully designed, interactive user experience that guides
buyers as they enter their credit card information, preventing
errors and providing a smoother checkout experience. Developers can
use this default flow as-is, update certain elements, or customize
the entire experience to match the look and feel of their apps.
Buyers can pay with their credit or debit cards, digital wallets
such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, or can choose to save their
credit card information for future purchases.
The SDK further establishes Square’s omnichannel payments
platform, making Square the only platform with first-party products
that provide an end-to-end payments experience across in-person,
web, and mobile app transactions. By using one platform for
payments, developers and sellers minimize the complexity, security,
and compliance of managing payments across channels. For sellers
that also means a single, unified system for back-office reporting
and the ability to see a holistic view of their buyers’ behavior
for easier customer service and loyalty.
“With the introduction of in-app mobile payments to the Square
platform, developers now have a complete, omnichannel payments
solution for all their payment needs,” said Carl Perry,
Developer Lead at Square. “From software to hardware to
services, Square offers a complete payments experience all in one
cohesive open platform. Even better, developers and sellers can
manage all their payments across in-store, mobile and online all in
one place.”
One company beta-testing the Square In-App Payments SDK was
PepperHQ, which creates customized, merchant-branded mobile apps
for hospitality companies looking for mobile payments, order ahead
solutions, and more. In partnership with Square, Pepper provides
seamless integration of ordering and payment in to a merchant's
systems and operations. Pepper used the In-App Payments SDK so that
their merchant customers can use the same payments provider in
their mobile app that they use in-store.
"With this SDK, Square took care of a lot of the heavy lifting
of storing card information, processing transactions and more.
Using Square for payments alongside sending pickup orders for
fulfilment into Square’s Point of Sale, reduces complexity and
means that Pepper can implement apps quicker, with less fuss for
merchants,” said Adam Robinson, Chief Product Officer at
PepperHQ. “The Square In-App Payments SDK is a slicker
implementation than other options in the market and felt
frictionless from the beginning. We were able to customize the look
and feel of the flow so that it looks the way our clients want but
still feels native to the app so its trustworthy and honest.”
Brushfire, a fast-growing ticketing and registration platform,
also has been using the SDK through the beta program. Brushfire was
able to quickly integrate Square’s In-App Payments SDK into their
mobile apps to allow customers to easily buy tickets at local
events, increasing conversion by more than 20%.
"Square’s in-app payments SDK was painless and easy to use,”
said Jorin Slaybaugh, Technology Lead at Brushfire. “We
loved it from a technical standpoint: it allowed us to do something
that was literally impossible for us to do before, and we were able
to do it easier than ever. That’s all that matters to
developers.”
