Square announced on Thursday that it will begin to support Apple’s tap to pay technology later this year. A beta test arrived this summer as part of the company’s early access program.
The new program will allow iPhone users to pay with their phone within square’s point of sale (POS) app. The program will be able to process a big chunk of payments with nothing but an iPhone and the square app.
Apple first announced tap to pay in February 2022, and supported square’s competitor Stripe. The partnership with Stripe also supports payments made in the Shopify POS app. The dongle, for a lot of Square users, might still be the best choice.
