Square anouncement of new payment API for developers

[Sim]

I believe this is huge news. Square owns cash app and people love cash app more then PayPal. So allowing developers to develope on top of there payment system is a huge anouncement. @Daveknows I love cash APP. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/square-to-let-developers-build-on-top-of-its-online-platform-2021-05-13?mod=mw_square

Cash App is limited to US and UK only, and even then, you can only transfer to your own country.

Not quite the same as PayPal, so it's no comparison really.

Limited countries suck. Hopefully they expand that to.

The ease of use of PayPal it too much for me to consider other options at the moment. Ive received payments from over 20 countries over the last 3-6 months so it would have to match that before i considered using it

PayPal sucks…. I can’t wait until something completely replaces it.

Working on just something like https://420bitstars.com/420onlinewallet/ still in setting up stage but will support deposits from many places and easy API to add to a checkout process and have people pay directly from there wallets. It will support variety of currencies and crypto currency using coinpayments

I've only ever used Paypal and Stripe.

I used PayPal really early on and their API was utter garbage, and Stripe I've been using for the past 4-5 years now and they've been a treat. From the dev perspective of clean docs and good libraries to their support responsiveness, I have no complaints.

Just last week I was looking into Sqaure as an alternative to Stripe, not because of any issues with Stripe but just to reaqauint myself with the market.
