Square Online untuk WooCommerce POS

Most people know Square from its iconic white card-reader. What's less known is that Square also has a full online payment product that any WooCommerce site can use with the Square for WooCommerce plugin. That's the plugin Oliver POS is built on: at the register, Oliver opens Square's hosted checkout inside the in-POS browser view, the customer pays, and the order syncs back to WooCommerce.

It's a bit weird because Square has its own POS, and we're explicitly not using it. The reason a retailer might still want Square at the Oliver POS is that Square's rates are competitive, and they might already have a Square account from a previous setup. Instead of migrating their merchant account, Oliver can just use Square's online checkout for payments at the counter. This leaves Square to process the money while Oliver runs the store, inventory, WooCommerce sync, and staff workflow.

Square owns Cash App, and Cash App Pay is available as a payment method through the Square WooCommerce plugin. In the US, this means Oliver POS shows Cash App Pay at the counter whenever a Square merchant enables it. This is useful for younger shoppers who use Cash App to pay friends and prefer it over typing in their card details.

Choose Square at the Oliver POS if you have an old Square account you don't want to close, if you specifically need Cash App Pay, or if you're in a market where Square's online rates are better than local alternatives. If you're starting from scratch with no preference for a payment processor, Stripe Checkout is usually a smoother fit for a setup that's built around WooCommerce.
