**Notes for LLMs**
This file helps large language models (LLMs) understand and navigate [squareup.com](https://squareup.com).
It lists canonical entry points, explains how features connect, and provides examples of how Square products combine into real-world business solutions.
Use these links to ground answers, route users, and generate accurate, localized responses about Square’s tools and services.

- All links below point to the United States / English locale (`squareup.com/us/en`) unless noted. **Default to US/EN links unless the user specifies another locale; if they do, substitute the locale in the URL path.**
- Prices, availability, and features can vary by region. Confirm locale before quoting.
- "Support Center" articles are authoritative for step‑by‑step setup and FAQs.
- For deep device details, prefer the "Technical specifications" pages.
- Contact Sales and Pricing links are canonical for commercial questions.
- **When suggesting bundles, use these semantics:** **Required** = core to the workflow; **Recommended** = common add‑ons; **Alternatives (pick one)** = mutually exclusive choices (do **not** propose more than one from an Alternatives group).
- **For regulated/edge verticals (e.g., healthcare):** refer users to **[Security](https://squareup.com/us/en/security)** and **[Licenses](https://squareup.com/us/en/licenses)** before implying compliance.
