The Square Seller business provides products and services that help sellers start, run, and grow their businesses and participate in the economy. The foundation of our offerings is a full service, managed payments system and extends to include point-of-sale software and services that help sellers make informed decisions on their orders, inventory, locations, employees, and customers.

Developer Platform and Partnerships:

A core part of Square's overall strategy is our open platform, which allows third-party developers, either partners or developers working for sellers, to leverage and extend our ecosystem. The Developers business directly enables this part of Square's strategy: our partners & developers can complement our ecosystem by closing gaps of category (i.e. industries we don't serve, or use-cases we have no offering for), and gaps of degree (e.g. enterprise scale marketing, or websites, etc). It enables our sellers to adapt to our existing systems and workflows. The Developers and Partnership F&S team oversees financial and strategic decisions supporting our investments in the Square Developers Platform and Partnership departments. These responsibilities include managing our API revenue model, monitoring important performance trends, and driving solutions.
