sellers. is that see the in of you way one growth larger think, I

our perspective. standpoint talked from we in it XX% as nicely move So, we quarter, they larger resonate grew we that as on continue is we and target about sellers, from before almost as the we adjusted to quite have is product a number multiple ways revenue adjusted upmarket. go that There after and the put in an

customers third about the first in Register quarter, And talked net success actually through The and of Square of the to a hardware. little Square. bit Square to Register see a is actually pleasing new were we

so, Layer you’re your on need specific. question, the opening more new of actually with for us. kind that software and that’s where So up a be door vertical top going front whole of to

the of we base strengths the Square have. of clearly that the One is diversity of

customers so in in about of teens, getting point food, lots installed go retail, diversity GPV; we but XX% also GPV; services, in and beauty the on, could being health XX% also the customers professional see into I base. it’s of and we kind of So, services, high of about see

have they things some need bigger get those their they setting. for you very into and of verticals, customers each As specific

more point more CRM we when That’s Square case launched the retail, Retail. much of we So, launched for in sale. inventory, what of forward a

reasons line, in one our that subscription the growing, on And doubling basis. many that a it’s manifests of almost effectively services year-over-year so,

verticals, we’ve strategy. partnership a that’s In the used place terms other where of

us of areas look you the to believe it’s a in if food, on on partnering But were side. e-com in in example there; is there. is Vend like TouchBistro the So, side good retail

James Schneider

revenues maybe up you helpful. then, adjusted And outlook? the margin EBITDA. follow That’s but Clearly, on could not raising

is you see of top-line the points outlined term of strong. at years, and provide of sort past changing the the talked all. Any basis that’s you would some can on growth longer potential obviously and of kind kind the commentary margin expansion goals over of You about whether growth you very couple XXX

Sarah Friar

So, a potential ideas I lot clearly think right of growing it’s we us that at that XX% have always at, front a in growing When we’re so balance. you’re signaling over the quarter, pace now. that’s of this

that the platform, And so, the sell into. that ecosystem, then onto investment cross a the upsell we bring we go base because short grow go don’t the and we provides want to can on there, sellers more

as mentioned, So, back think customer have they you’re more to as greenfield using of we with sellers, products Jack products. or go or in like if are larger And opportunity lot loyalty or services particularly broadly. payroll a two we appointments a

into so, the for foremost the And ecosystem getting is incredibly to important platform first long-term folks Square. and building

to out. So, balance I want that

growth. platform environment the in our we now, perspective. And I so to think the depending our depending for cost the XXXX, for giving EBITDA change to different keep margin and of the is do to feel We’re -- just be from million time. a for will growth still that $XXX will is where get growing we course lots to we very $XXX yet think efficient pull continuing to think you is But degrees, I and about second EBITDA. still over thing to a top-line million accelerate in. business ways of XX% that year, that expansion we’re right showing on that the There right on healthy those of is One levers panning different out, long-term to on at so good more reinvesting
