Except now Apple is saying you don’t need the Square device to accept payments.
So Square loses out from the processing fees from each transaction if Apple does it itself on the iPhone directly
But the Square device itself is a dongle, sure it’s Bluetooth and not tethered to the device, but Apple has set up a system that removes the Square device from the equation
Interesting, this could really eat the lunch of Square because if you don’t need additional hardware to accept payments 🤔
Really? Then this is sloppy writing:
“No additional hardware or credit card machine is required to use Tap to Pay on iPhone. The feature uses NFC technology to securely authenticate the contactless payments, plus the feature also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options.”
That says to me Square is out of the circle 🤷♂️
