Hi Seller Community,

We are hosting a hackathon for developers to build software applications that enable small businesses to adapt to the post-COVID world. In order to ensure that this competition produces solutions that help solve real challenges you’re experiencing, we need your help. There are two ways to participate.

Option One: Share a challenge prompt for participants to solve

If you're a Square Seller, please share the new challenges your business is experiencing. For example, here are some of the challenges that have come up over the last few months:

For some shop owners, they have too much spring inventory that didn't sell and now have summer inventory coming in.

Some restaurants may require all guests to use in-app mobile ordering from dining restaurants to avoid extra interaction.

💡 What new challenges are you facing? We want to hear more from you. Reply to this post below with your suggestions by June 11 and we'll make sure they're represented in this event. 💡

Option Two: Participate in the Hackathon

If you're a developer and interested in participating, submit your entry by 7am AEST June 23, 2020: The Square Small Business Hackathon.

Looking forward to seeing your suggestions!

A quick reminder that today, 11th June, is the last day to submit recommendations for the Square Small Business Hackathon. (Note: Developers can register and submit entries until June 22.)

If you're not sure what to suggest think about the features that would help you to take contactless payments or to streamline online ordering. Share your suggestions in the thread below!

What's next? We'll compile your insights and make sure they're available to developers as they build their submissions.

We'll circle back with a summary of the outcome after the event—keep in touch!
