The Commerce team launched Cash App Pay in late 2021, and is building new in-person and online payment experiences that build upon our vast omni-channel Seller ecosystem at Square. We make this possible via new authorization APIs to empower the consumer in what is traditionally a merchant and bank-controlled world. For a demo of Cash App Pay, check out shop.cash.app
