Let us help in your building journey

There are 24 days until the submission deadline (today is October 29 ) and you need to build a creative application using at least one of Square’s featured APIs (below) that improves the experience for sellers and/or their customers.

If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed, let’s break it down together.

Brainstorm.

Have you identified a use-case that could use a creative solution? Check out The Square Unboxed Hackathon project gallery — there were solutions to increase customer engagement, maximize efficiency, and help business owners manage transactions seamlessly.

Example issue: Business owners are having trouble engaging with their customers on a continuous basis.

Example solution (combine APIs!): Customers API + Loyalty API + Gift Cards API = Engaged Customer

Build, Deploy and Test.

Do you have a defined project plan? Now that you have an idea, get organized and be sure to jot down what you need to build, deploy, and test.

Submit your project.

Did you know you could submit a project today and still edit it until the deadline? Aim to submit your project early and update it before the deadline. You’ll thank us later for this tip

Just for fun, here’s more additional project planning tips .
