Square?s Card Case iOS App Adds Support For Hands-Free Payments, Twitter Integration For Merchants

Earlier this year, Square debuted a virtual card case that consumers fill with ?cards? of all the merchants they visit and buy from who accept Square. These mobile cards include locations, merchant contact info, coupons, order and purchase history and more. One of the more interesting features was the ability to ?pay with your name.? In a merchant?s card within the case, you can press a ?use tab? button which allows the frequent customer to essentially put a purchase on their virtual tab with Square at the merchant. Today, Square is launching a new version of its Card Case iOS app that integrates iOS5 support for geofencing. So once you opt-in one time to the geofencing feature in the app, when you (and your phone) are within 100 meters of a Square merchant you can simple walk into the store, say your name at checkout and you are good to go with the payment. You don't need to pull your phone out at all or open the app.
