Thank you so much for this. So Square is more than just a platform. It seems to have some apps too. Interesting.
I think Square wants to provide something more than just a way for payment. They want their customers to have a different experience with them than with their competitors.
You really need to try out square and its apps to understand what it can do for you and your business.
We have used Waveapps for invoicing and accounting and have had good luck with it. We provide professional phone greetings, auto attendant recordings and on-hold messages for businesses and our clients really like how easy and simple it is to make a quick payment.
