Is Starbucks going to stop accepting credit cards? Adding less confusing new machines to the confusing old machines does not result in less average confusion.

[sorry, that was retarded, I confused square with a different payment system. disregard.]



No. Square's product is all about accepting credit cards. From the press release:

"Square will process Starbucks U.S. credit and debit card transactions, which will significantly expand Square’s scale and accelerate the benefits to businesses on the Square platform, especially small businesses, while reducing Starbucks payment processing costs"

The Square Register product takes plastic as well as letting people pay via the geo-fencing Pay with Square app.


Starbucks will still be accepting credit cards, cash, and now even Pay with Square tabs!
