Nearly one year after the acquisition of Weebly, Square is
integrating Weebly technology into key products
Today, Square, Inc. (NYSE: SQ) announced the availability of the
revamped Square Online Store and Square for Retail, two products
that offer sellers the tools to have one cohesive solution to start
or grow an omnichannel business. These new offerings are the first
Square products to be fully integrated with Weebly, a powerful
platform for building a website or online store, since the
company's acquisition last year.

The new Square Online Store allows sellers to grow their
business in person and online, with a professional eCommerce
website and integrated tools including Instagram selling, shipping,
in-store pickup, and more. The new product also brings the Square
Online Store experience to restaurants, allowing sellers to offer
seamless online ordering from their website, customized pickup
times across multiple locations, and the option to easily pay ahead
for online orders.
“It’s crucial that sellers are able to reach their buyers on any
channel, whether in person, online, or in apps,” said David
Rusenko, head of eCommerce at Square. “With the new Square Online
Store, we’re excited to integrate Weebly technology and bring the
Square omnichannel experience to everything from retail businesses
to restaurants.”
Square for Retail, the point-of-sale app optimized specifically
for retailers, has also been completely redesigned with expanded
product features. For the first time, business owners who also want
to sell online can easily create a professional website and
automatically connect their Square for Retail catalog to their
Square Online Store, allowing them to sync their items, inventory,
prices, and data instantly across online and offline channels.
Sellers that use Square for Retail and Square Online Store can also
enable their customers to easily shop online and pick up their
purchases in store, a feature typically only available to larger
retailers. Finally, the Retail point-of-sale app has been
redesigned to make managing online orders alongside a
brick-and-mortar store quick and intuitive.
“The new Square for Retail has been a home run product and has
saved our business a lot of time and effort,” said Brian Smith,
director of retail operations at K. Hall Studio in St. Louis. “We
love the inventory management and multiple location features
because it makes it extremely easy to run our business from
anywhere.”
Square's other custom-built vertical point-of-sale solutions
include Square for Restaurants and Square Appointments for
service-based businesses.
