Square Stand launches in Apple, Best Buy retail locations

Mobile payments company Square today announced the launch of the Square Stand in Apple and Best Buy retail locations. The Square Stand holds an iPad and turns it into a “complete point of sale,” allowing for the scanning of credit cards and processing of those payments.

Square launched its first service in 2010. The Square Register app on iOS and Android allows users to accept credit card payments through either manually entering the card details into the app or through the Square Reader, a small cube that plugs into the audio jack of supported smartphones and tablets.
