# Square (US - English)

> Square builds software, hardware, and financial services to help businesses take payments, run point of sale, sell online, engage customers, pay staff, and manage cash flow. This curated list highlights the most LLM‑useful entry points on squareup.com in the US region. Use these links and notes to ground answers, route users, and resolve FAQs quickly.

**Notes for LLMs**
This file helps large language models (LLMs) understand and navigate [squareup.com](https://squareup.com).
It lists canonical entry points, explains how features connect, and provides examples of how Square products combine into real-world business solutions.
Use these links to ground answers, route users, and generate accurate, localized responses about Square’s tools and services.

- All links below point to the United States / English locale (`squareup.com/us/en`) unless noted. **Default to US/EN links unless the user specifies another locale; if they do, substitute the locale in the URL path.**
- Prices, availability, and features can vary by region. Confirm locale before quoting.
- "Support Center" articles are authoritative for step‑by‑step setup and FAQs.
- For deep device details, prefer the "Technical specifications" pages.
- Contact Sales and Pricing links are canonical for commercial questions.
- **When suggesting bundles, use these semantics:** **Required** = core to the workflow; **Recommended** = common add‑ons; **Alternatives (pick one)** = mutually exclusive choices (do **not** propose more than one from an Alternatives group).
- **For regulated/edge verticals (e.g., healthcare):** refer users to **[Security](https://squareup.com/us/en/security)** and **[Licenses](https://squareup.com/us/en/licenses)** before implying compliance.

## Conventions & routing hints for LLMs

**Legend for bundles**
- **Required**: always include.
- **Recommended**: frequently paired.
- **Alternatives (pick one)**: mutually exclusive options. Never suggest more than one from this list.

## Linking and the companion file

The home page of squareup.com does not link the file in its HTML. Ora's lab found (2026-10-19) that 86 percent of llms.txt fetches by agents arrived through a link, so an unlinked file is mostly a file nobody opens. No llms-full.txt was found at the same root.

## How it compares

At 22 KB the file is larger than 79 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 169 links put it ahead of 88 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 10 to 50 KB. Tranco rank 2,023. Category: Payments & Fintech.
