Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, 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, offer buy now, pay later functionality through Afterpay, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. 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 in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.

Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

We aspire to eliminate the hours of weekly drudgery that sellers and team members expend staying aligned and provide tools to build better relationships between employers and employees.

Square Staff is a suite of labor management, payroll, and communications tools that enables business owners, managers, and employees to thrive together. We provide valuable insights to sellers using data collected from our ecosystem with the goal of helping them make informed decisions about their workforce – just a few employees, to many (sometimes hundreds or thousands!). We are building the most intelligent back office software available anywhere, boosted by our ecosystem of data, 360 degree view of the business, and direct relationship with all team members. Square Staff helps give our sellers the peace of mind that their business is running smoothly, even if they're not physically present.
