Two years ago, Square introduced a digital gift-card program that never took off. This holiday season, it’ll try its hand at physical gift cards. The payments and local-commerce company announced this morning that it will start offering gift cards to businesses that run on Square’s point-of-sale software. Merchants who want to offer these gift cards to their customers will pay Square $1.50 per card and won’t pay any transaction fees when a card is redeemed.

We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
