Square announced the launch of its newest developer tool, Terminal API that connects Square Terminal, an all-in-one credit card machine, to the point of sale systems or practice management system, regardless of the platform or operating systems it's been developed on, according to a report in IBSIntelligence.

Whether developers are building on iOS, Android, web, or desktop, Terminal API helps build flexible business management software that adapts to new ways of running a business.

By developing an app or using a platform that is integrated with Terminal API, sellers can use the Square Terminal hardware to accept payment quickly and securely, including contactless payments with Apple Pay, Google Pay and other NFC payment methods.

"Square's continued investment in its developer platform and partner ecosystem have proven absolutely critical, especially as developers turn to Square to help sellers get their business to adapt in the wake of COVID-19," Pankaj Bengani, global head of partnerships at Square told the news outlet.
