“The entire technology industry uses the word “user” to describe its customers. While it might be convenient, “users” is a rather passive and abstract word. No one wants to be thought of as a “user” (or “consumer” for that matter). I certainly don’t. And I wouldn’t consider my mom a “user” either, she’s my mom. The word “user” abstracts the actual individual. This may seem like a small and insignificant detail that doesn’t matter, but the vernacular and words we use here at Square set a very strong and subtle tone for everything we do. So let’s now part ways with our industry and rethink this.”

Square’s built in loyalty program is pretty nifty.
So far, I’ve only seen it in use this once, but am already a fan. The merchant sets it up and customers don’t need to do a thing. Forget about bringing your coffee sleeves, punch cards, or even using a punch card replacement mobile app. It’s taken care of.
“Apple’s new Passbook seems more of an opportunity than a challenge for Square.”

Intuit GoPayment - iPhone credit card processing for mobile payments
Look at that, Intuit is taking on Square.
The hardware actually looks pretty good, but the software and website looks dated, in comparison to Square’s simple and frankly beautiful designs.
It will be interesting to see how well their monthly pricing option works, because the lack of a monthly fee is the first thing all the merchants I’ve spoken with have mentioned, when discussing their decision to use Square.
PayPal’s competing offering has yet to launch… still.
