One of the most frequently requested features from IgnitionDeck Enterprise users is the ability to bypass the standard WordPress password reset workflow and instead offer a custom interface to keep users on the front-end of the website.

Square Payments is quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to charge credit cards, and not just with a card or chip reader. Over the past 12 months, they’ve slowly iterated on their point of sale product, releasing a variety of sleek and sexy terminals that compete very well against competitors in the space,…
