Square Register now available outside the US

The point-of-sale software suite supports 130 internationally recognized currencies.

Square Thursday made its Register point-of-sale software suite available to merchants outside the U.S. for the first time. The services include back office tools that track daily activity and provide insights into their business, according to a press release. The free app is built for Android and iOS devices and available through Apple's App Store and Google Play.

Square Register is available worldwide in English, Spanish, French, and Japanese, and supports 130 internationally recognized currencies. 

"The cash register was invented to solve the basic pain points of running a business, like recording sales," Square CEO Jack Dorsey said in a statement. "Our Register empowers sellers to drill into their business with sophisticated reporting tools to run and grow their business." 

The app gives any business a complete, cloud-based point-of-sale solution to track sales and manage items and inventory. It also includes these additional features:

  • Dashboard provides valuable analytics for sellers to better understand their business, their customers and monitor daily activity in real time, from anywhere. 
  • Digital receipts enable sellers to connect with their customers and even respond directly to customer feedback to resolve issues and build customer loyalty. 
  • Hardware accessories easily connect to Square Register so businesses can access receipt and kitchen printers, cash drawers, and bar code scanners. 
  • Square App Marketplace offers sellers access to business apps that integrate directly with Register. Apps currently available for sellers worldwide include SumAll, IFTTT, and Stitch Labs.

No word from Square about when it will make its card reader available to merchants in regions such as Europe. The company will begin to ship EMV-enabled dongles next year in the U.S., but they are for chip-and-signature transactions. Chip-and-PIN is the standard in most countries worldwide.
