“When we saw that the Square Register featured seller- and buyer-facing displays and was capable of taking payments and enabling integrated commerce right out of the box, it seemed like the perfect fit. We realized that Square was really innovating in terms of customer and fan engagement, which is exactly what we were after to achieve our goal of becoming cashless and contactless.”
