The integration, which is rolling out today, will enable retailers&mdash;of any size&mdash;that use Square&rsquo;s payments platform to offer customers the option of having any item delivered.&rdquo;

Square is best known for its mobile purchase functionality, but &ldquo;it has <a href="https://venturebeat.com/2014/12/04/restaurant-delivery-startup-caviar-launches-on-mobile-to-replace-your-seamless-addiction/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=square-partners-with-postmates-so-operators-can-offer-on-demand-delivery-2709937" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">branched out</a> into <a href="https://venturebeat.com/2018/12/13/square-appointments-opens-to-direct-bookings-through-instagram-and-google/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=square-partners-with-postmates-so-operators-can-offer-on-demand-delivery-2709937" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">all manner</a> of <a href="https://venturebeat.com/2016/11/01/square-has-provided-more-than-1-billion-in-loans-to-businesses/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=square-partners-with-postmates-so-operators-can-offer-on-demand-delivery-2709937" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">commerce-related verticals</a> as it targets a <a href="https://venturebeat.com/2015/10/18/squares-success-story-in-two-words-small-businesses/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=square-partners-with-postmates-so-operators-can-offer-on-demand-delivery-2709937" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">bigger piece of the small business</a> pie,&rdquo; according to the article. Square already offers delivery services through Caviar, which it acquired in 2014, as well as other purchased platforms Fastbite and Entrees on-Trays, according to the article. However, &ldquo;a Postmates partnership opens up Square&rsquo;s delivery smarts significantly.&rdquo;

&ldquo;San Francisco-based Postmates, which recently <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/news/delivery/2019/postmates-expanding-cities-ipo/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=square-partners-with-postmates-so-operators-can-offer-on-demand-delivery-2709937" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">expanded to more than 1,000 cities</a> as it gears up for its <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-postmates-ipo/postmates-confidentially-files-for-ipo-idUSKCN1PW2HS?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=square-partners-with-postmates-so-operators-can-offer-on-demand-delivery-2709937" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">impending IPO</a>, now covers 70% of U.S. households,&rdquo; the article said. According to the article, Postmates boasts about 300,000 couriers to &ldquo;connect the dots between retailers and consumers&rdquo; and help &ldquo;brick-and-mortar merchants embrace online commerce.&rdquo; 

&ldquo;Though Postmates does focus a lot on food delivery, it is open to delivering just about any product, which is why it may be a good fit for Square,&rdquo; the article said.
