Square Payment

In recent years, the adoption of cashless payments has surged across various sectors, including restaurants, hotels, and co-working spaces. This shift is driven by a declining workforce, inflation-induced cost-cutting measures, and the need for operational efficiency through cashless transactions. Many business owners face challenges like:

- "Which POS system should I choose for cashless payments?"

- "I can't afford high installation costs."

For those facing these challenges, Square offers an ideal solution for managing business operations and payments.

KINCHAKU and Square Integration

Integrate Square with KINCHAKU to easily manage and sell paid passes (tickets, vouchers) both online and in-store, making sales and operations more efficient. You can sync customer and store information for loyalty services and smart subscription management. Square also automates recurring payments, improving subscription-based services. It doesn't matter if you're running a beauty salon, gym, or co-working space, Square and KINCHAKU provide versatile and cost-effective solutions.

Use Case

In today's business scene, cashless transactions have become an essential element. Here are some ideas on how to achieve sales growth in physical stores by integrating Square with KINCHAKU.

Many stores offer multiple services such as "3 head spa sessions for 15,000 yen, 10% off" or "5 hair removal sessions for 20,000 yen, 15% off" using paper tickets. However, managing customer information with paper tickets presents a challenge. By using KINCHAKU, customer information that was difficult to manage with paper can be managed with digital passes. For example, like membership cards for gyms or coworking spaces, using KINCHAKU's digital passes allows for easy identity verification. When customers purchase digital tickets issued via KINCHAKU, the sales are reflected in Square, enabling unified management. This simplifies sales tracking and management, improving operational efficiency. Additionally, since Square offers contactless payments, you can easily begin selling digital passes such as prepaid tickets or admission tickets in-person by simply installing Square's free POS app and the Kinchaku app on your Android or iOS smartphone or tablet.
