Square API Profile: Online Transactions With Less Liability

The Square eCommerce API, highlighted in a RapidAPI blog post, provides a streamlined solution for businesses to handle online transactions by accepting, processing, and filtering payments via Square's platform. Notably, it reduces developer liability by storing credit card data in iframes on Square's servers, thus eliminating the need for developers to manage PCI compliance. This API allows integration of both online and in-store data, simplifying inventory management. Initially developed in Node.js, the API was later rewritten in Go to enhance scalability as its user base grew. The blog post serves as a part of a series profiling APIs to inspire developers over a holiday break, with Square's API being praised for its unique features compared to other eCommerce solutions like Stripe and PayPal.
