Since we first opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely – and so has Square. After helping anyone take a payment and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by different, outmoded products and tools that wouldn't work together. So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, run a busy kitchen, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. And across it all, we've embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow all in one place.

Today, we're a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex commerce operations, sellers just starting out, and merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers scale, so do our solutions. We all grow together.

There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We're building a business that is big, meaningful, and lasting. And we are helping sellers around the world do the same.

Square helps millions of merchants start and run their businesses. As those businesses grow, their needs change. Square’s goal to help businesses grow doesn’t stop when small businesses do well. We want to support the needs of businesses at all stages, from a seller taking their first sale, to corporations who have processed millions in payments. 

The Core Payments team within Payment Products focuses on improving the user experience for these merchants and on building new user-facing tools to help them get the right support at the right time. Our team is responsible for the experiences of more than half of our merchants. Our UI is one of the first things our customers see, and first impressions matter. Our products meet them where they need as they grow, providing the right experience when they need it. 

A few examples of the products that we work on:

• New payment method integration

• Transferring account ownership

• Keypad enhancement and accessibility programs

We are a full-stack and mobile product team: we improve and integrate with the money moving platform and deliver product features on desktops, mobile web, and in our iOS and Android apps. Our approach is both customer-focused and data-driven: we talk to existing and prospective merchants, understand their needs and pains, and find opportunities to improve product experiences from data insights and A/B tests.
