Square Expands Partner Program, Integrates with Xero & QuickBooks

Mobile credit card acceptance vendor Square has launched a new software partner platform that includes integration with Xero and QuickBooks. The collaboration between Square and these companies is focused on building new applications that complement Square’s set of business services. The main integration objective is to simplify operation for small businesses in the United States. With data flowing automatically from point of sale to back-office accounting software, sellers using the software will save time spent manually inputting sales. Square initially connected with QuickBooks in November, and decided to team up with Xero as the integrations were working so well. Sellers can now link their Square and Xero accounts in mere minutes and pull past Square sales data into Xero. Essentially, the integration works the exact same as with QuickBooks. Once the software is connected, each day’s transactions will automatically import, summarize and populate the appropriate account within Xero’s general ledger, providing an accrual accounting view of cash flow. Sellers of all size are increasingly adopting Square’s business tools for their affordability and ease of use. Follow this link for more information.
