Square Sellers United is an independent online community and platform that helps organize and empower businesses and
individuals who use the popular Square POS (re:
squareup.com).
In addition, the SSU platform allows members to vote on which new features, changes, etc. they’d like to see Square
make and then as an official Square Partner, the SSU leadership brings the most voted issues/requests to Square directly.
If Square doesn’t act on a particular request or it’s too far out (in their plans), the SSU Development Team creates a
code-based solution ourselves using Square’s various APIs, as well as our own existing in-house technology (and solutions).
Finally, whichever features SSU does
not develop (ie. because it’s not voted on enough) SSU members have
the option of self-funding that feature by using the very same Feature Requests section where members vote, which also allows
members to make low-increment pledge(s) similar to crowd-funding... with one major difference:
Members who self-fund/crowd-fund a feature (or solution), essentially become the owners of that technology and SSU pays them
a percentage of revenue based on how many members opt into using that particular feature (or solution).
