Report: Starbucks, Square Part Ways On Mobile Payments

A report today says that Seattle-based Starbucks and Square are going separate ways on their mobile payments, as Starbucks has opted to build its own, mobile ordering products. The two had launched a high profile payment effort back in 2012, which allowed Starbucks users to pay using Square's mobile wallet app. Instead, Starbucks is developing its own mobile ordering and payment system, which it is already piloting in Portland.
