The company revolutionized mobile payments with its Square Reader, a small device that plugs into the headphone jack of a smartphone or tablet and allows anyone to accept credit card payments. Square also offers Square Cash, a peer-to-peer payments app, and Square Point of Sale, a cloud-based point-of-sale system for small businesses.
