About this podcast
The Square Developer Podcast dives deep into the backend of a business. Hear discussions about tech that fuels commerce innovation with folks who have built apps, integrations, businesses, and more on the Square developer platform. In each episode, we’ll chat with a dev about their real-life experience using Square tools — the good, the bad, and the buggy are all fair game as we go behind the build. Together, we’ll talk about the tech world at large, and how it influences their decisions or drives their ideas forward.
