Square claims that this service has no additional cost or tools for businesses.
Jack Dorsey, Square co-founder and chief executive, said: "I just sent my parents a gift to their favourite bookstore, Left Bank Books in St. Louis. It’s incredibly fun to give my friends unique and meaningful gifts, treat them to their favourite neighbourhood places, all from my couch."
Square wallet operates in over 200,000 businesses across the US. In November it announced that it was going live in 7,000 Starbucks stores.
