Ecwid Launches Square Payments and POS in Australia

Omnichannel retailing — which basically means enabling your customers to shop seamlessly across physical and digital channels — isn’t just a buzzword or trend. It’s the norm. Consumers expect brands and retailers to be there for them no matter where or how they’re shopping.

This is especially true in Australia, which ranks third for omnichannel penetration worldwide. According to the PwC Global Omnichannel Retail Index, Australia “is one of the world’s e-commerce ‘powerhouses’ and is in the top three nations for omnichannel retailing.”

What does this mean for you? You need to have an omnichannel strategy and be able to serve customers both online and in person.

Fortunately, Ecwid and Square are making it really easy for you to achieve that. We’re excited to announce that this integration with Square is now available in Australia! This partnership between Ecwid and Square allows you to sell offline, on your website, as well as on social networks and online marketplaces without going through the hassle of managing different solutions.
