Modernising in-person payments isn’t just about new hardware. It’s about building a seamless experience for both businesses and their customers.

We partnered with LR Centre to overhaul their in-person payment infrastructure, designing a modern solution that connects physical point-of-sale with robust digital architecture. By focusing on speed, reliability and integration, we helped them reduce friction at checkout and future-proof their operations.

Today, LR Centre operates with a resilient payment ecosystem capable of supporting their continued growth.

AI at work should do more than generate ideas. It should solve real problems.

This National AI in Work Day, we’re highlighting how we help organisations move beyond experimentation and build AI into the way their businesses actually operate.

We map workflows, identify high-value opportunities and develop practical solutions, from custom AI tooling and internal knowledge systems to intelligent automation and bespoke agents that can take on entire workflows.

Because successful AI adoption isn’t about following the hype. It’s about finding where AI can create measurable value and building it properly.

We partnered with Newstalk , Ireland’s leading commercial talk radio station, to design and build a modern digital platform capable of keeping pace with a growing audience and the demands of a 24/7 news environment.

From UX/UI design and website development to mobile app development, the project focused on speed, stability and a seamless listening experience. The result? Page load times reduced by more than 50%, greater resilience during major traffic spikes, improved advertising capabilities and an integrated audio experience that lets audiences keep listening while they browse.

Today, Newstalk has a high-performance digital foundation built to support its continued growth across news, radio, podcasts and on-demand content.

How do you transform complex payment operations across multiple international markets?

Square1 partnered with TUI , one of the world’s leading tourism groups, to engineer a sophisticated global payment orchestration layer powered by Stripe. The solution connects TUI’s internal CRM, enterprise ERP and Stripe infrastructure, automating complex payment flows across markets including the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and Thailand.

From multi-phase 30/70 instalment payments and booking modifications to secure payment links and real-time synchronisation, the new infrastructure has helped reduce manual work, improve financial visibility and give TUI the scalability needed to support complex global travel operations.

As TUI Project Lead Mia Godino said: “The Square1 team has been an outstanding partner throughout the entire Stripe integration journey.”

Agentic commerce is no longer just a concept, it’s something developers can start building today.

With the World Cup season in full swing, we wanted to bring the concept to life by building PayForGoals: a working API that sells one historic football scoreline per request.

In our latest article, we explore how AI agents and software can autonomously discover, pay for and access digital resources using the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP).

Powered by our open-source Laravel MPP package, an unpaid request receives a 402 Payment Required response, completes the payment through an available payment rail, and automatically retries the request to access the data.

No traditional checkout. No manual purchasing process. Just software paying software.

PayForGoals currently supports Stripe (Shared Payment Tokens) and Tempo (signed on-chain payments), demonstrating how autonomous machine payments can work in practice.

This is just the beginning of our exploration into the agentic commerce stack. We're building, testing and sharing what we learn to help developers understand what's possible today.
