“I’ve been using Square’s products both on-site and online over
the past few months and it has revolutionised how I run my
business,” said Anne-Laure Fonrose, Founder of Tatie Nanna. “Having
an integrated, omnichannel payment solution means our customers can
pay in any way that suits them. It’s all been easy to set-up and
run, the product looks great on site, and the connectivity is
super-fast which helps avoid long queues. I’m proud to be using
Square as we continue to grow our business.”
French businesses will now have access to a full stack of
integrated business tools. Square’s suite of products are designed
to seamlessly work with each other to save businesses time and
money, reduce inefficiencies from managing multiple systems, and
help sellers grow their businesses in the future. Additionally,
Square offers fair, transparent, and merchant-friendly pricing for
business software and payment processing without requiring any
long-term contract or extra fees. Square takes care of fraud
prevention, dispute management, security, and compliance at no
additional cost. Square’s POS certification also enables merchants
to comply with the “Loi anti-fraude TVA, 20181”. Businesses can
access their funds as soon as the next working day and only pay a
transaction fee when they accept a card or mobile payment.
“International growth has been a key priority this year, and
we’re proud to officially launch in France as our third European
market,” said Alyssa Henry, Executive Vice President at Square.
“Sellers around the country will now be able to use our omnichannel
ecosystem of products and services, allowing business owners to
focus on running their business.”
“We are thrilled to expand Square’s solutions into France,
helping merchants to run their entire business end-to-end with
integrated software, hardware, and data analytics, while making it
easier for them to take card payments,” said Jason Lalor, European
Executive Director at Square. “French businesses can trust Square
to be a fair, transparent, and innovative partner they can rely on
to help them run their business and get back-on-track after times
of uncertainty.”
