Square Point of Sale provides checkout, inventory, customer, and payment tools for sellers.
Square Point of Sale is Square's POS service for checkout, payments, inventory, customer management, and selling across retail, restaurant, and service businesses. It pairs software with Square hardware and online commerce tools.
The service competes with PayPal Zettle in small-business point of sale, where merchants compare transaction costs, card readers, terminal hardware, app workflows, reporting, and scalability.
