The new API enables developers to connect Square Terminal, an
all-in-one card payments device, to their POS, ERP, or practice
management system, regardless of the platform or operating systems
they’re developed on. Whether developers are building on iOS,
Android, web, or desktop, Terminal API helps developers build
flexible business management software that adapts to new ways of
running a business - whether that’s developing a custom-built kiosk
for ordering and checkout, a medical practice management system to
synchronize patient data, or a socially distanced payments solution
that accommodates the safety of sellers and buyers.
By hiring a developer to build an application, or using a
platform that is integrated with Terminal API, sellers can use
their Square Terminal hardware to accept every type of payment
quickly and securely, including contactless payments with Apple
Pay, Google Pay, and other NFC payment methods. Featuring a
cordless design and Wi-Fi connectivity, Terminal devices can be
placed away from the POS system to maintain a safe distance between
employees and customers.
The arrival of Terminal API showcases how Square’s platform is
evolving to meet the changing needs of developers, partners, and
the sellers they serve. “Square’s continued investment in its
developer platform and partner ecosystem have proven absolutely
critical, especially as developers turn to Square to help sellers
get their business to adapt in the wake of COVID-19,” said Pankaj
Bengani, global head of partnerships at Square.
During his opening remarks at the conference, Mr. Bengani also
spoke to the rate at which Square’s partner initiatives have grown
since the program's inception. He revealed that since 2018, the
number of 90-day active developers building solutions for sellers
on Square’s platform has grown nearly 80%. Square also more than
quadrupled it’s base of managed partners since 2018, and more than
doubled seller adoption of partner solutions, and is expected to
reach 1 million total partner-connected sellers in 2021.
Terminal API is available today in the US, CA, UK, and AU. To
