What's stopping from coffee shops and SMBs from using Stripe? Why shouldn't they?

They'll have to build their own app and the rest of the checkout system themselves.

Nothing. It’s an insurgent tactic. Payment is being reinvented and developers are at the forefront, so enable them.

>great for developers

I'm guessing this means that the setup process of stripe terminal isn't to the point where a non-developer can plug it in and go. Square is great because anybody competent enough to install an app on their phone can use it

They also don’t come with Point-of-Sale software. Square is all-inclusive while Stripe is DIY.

The whole point of sale system.
