@Candlestore beat me to it, more or less. Ha. Basically, I pointed out that this change was inevitable. Square is a card processing company and makes the bulk of its money there. PayPal is a card processing company, and the same can be said of them. They are competitors.
I was always surprised that Square allowed the use of other card processors on their websites, and in their ecosystem in general. I guess it worked since they seemed to work well together. Obviously, something changed and Square decided the relationship was no longer beneficial. As @Candlestore pointed out, the logic of this decision is pretty solid. Still, I understand that it hurts because change always does hurt.
Honestly, I don’t see this as a big problem. Square still takes all credit cards that customers would use via PayPal. They are just cutting out the middleman. We, as business owners, do this all the time to maximize our revenues, and Square is no different. I know that won’t be a popular opinion, but (as they say) it is what it is. If any sellers don’t like the decision, then they can vote with their feet. It’s just a matter of deciding if this is a hill that is worth dying on. For me, it would not be since there is no real benefit to having PayPal in the payment loop since Square does the exact same things as PayPal does.
That, however, is just my opinion.
