Do you mean square or stripe?

I don't see how Braintree and Square are interchangeable for anything other than physical point-of-sales use cases ... which doesn't seem like Braintree's sweet spot

I think he/she means Stripe :)

i mean square - that's the company that's looking to buy braintree, right? am i seeing things?

Ah I thinking Stripe because Stripe is the credit card processing API, Square is the Point of Sale dongle for your mobile device. I don't if switching from PayPal or Braintree to Square would even work :)

If Square acquires Braintree I presume nothing would change.
