Block’s XYZ Square recently announced that it will power GOLFTEC’s payments and commerce infrastructure across 200+ U.S. locations. GOLFTEC is the world’s largest facilitator of golf lessons and premium club fittings with more than 30 years of precision coaching and cutting-edge swing technology.
Square will integrate GOLFTEC’s in-center and online commerce operations, providing it with a seamless and flexible platform that will help it modernize quickly without friction and scale without disruption.
With Square’s unified commerce platform, GOLFTEC now has access to mobile-friendly payments across in-center, retail and commerce channels. It can efficiently track customer activity across transactions and locations while simplifying refunds, reconciliation and dispute management. Lastly, Square’s Buy Now, Pay Later options offer a more convenient and flexible payment experience for customers.
The transition from manual workflows to Square’s automated platform has delivered significant efficiency gains. GOLFTEC has saved approximately 10,000 working hours by reducing administrative burdens related to payments and refunds. Financial closing timelines have improved by two days, supporting faster and more informed decision-making. Square’s proactive approach to optimizing contract structures and dispute resolution has helped GOLFTEC save around $100,000 through better chargeback management.
Wrapping Up on Block’s Square
The GOLFTEC partnership reinforces Square’s expanding footprint in the enterprise segment and highlights the strength of its unified commerce ecosystem. By delivering measurable efficiency gains, cost savings and enhanced customer experience, Square is well-positioned to drive seller adoption and payment volume growth.
