This isn’t exactly new but clearly Square needs to join the club parroting a useless link instead of fixing problems with their broken storefront. Like all of these link schemes, it only works for stuff you can manufacture or acquire on demand because it has no context of inventory. Tell you what, Square, I’ll use your awful storefront if you get off your lazy asses and implement calculated shipping. That’s the least you can do, seeing as how you won’t support Windows (the most widely used OS) and won’t implement an API that doesn’t rely on embedding a Chrome-only Javascript page. God, how many stupid pills do you take every morning?
Calculated shipping offered with their $72 plan.
The worst thing about Square, though, is that it doesn’t take PayPal.
