Uber and Block plan Square integration in six international markets

Block, Inc. and Uber Technologies, Inc. announced a broader partnership April 22, 2026. Plans cover Square’s Uber Eats integration in six international markets and Cash App Pay in Uber’s U.S. apps.

Canada, Australia, the U.K., Ireland, France and Spain are the planned integration markets. The connection already operates in the United States. Cash App Pay is a separate forthcoming payment option for U.S. customers using Uber or Uber Eats. Joint announcement

The companies did not give launch dates for individual countries or the U.S. payment addition. They also described self-signup as coming soon.

Square’s stated integration scope covers orders, menus, modifiers and inventory, with Instant Payouts among the advertised capabilities. Cash App Pay and the POS connection concern separate steps: payment in a customer’s Uber app and fulfillment through a participating restaurant’s Square system.

What flows through the connection#

Uber’s dated May 2025 account of its U.S. relaunch gives a more detailed view of the restaurant workflow. Orders can travel from Uber Eats to Square’s point-of-sale system, then to printers or kitchen displays. Menu edits and out-of-stock settings made in Square sync to the Uber Eats storefront.

That documentation also describes controls for pausing orders during busy periods and notifying couriers when food is ready. Multilocation operators match their Square locations to the corresponding Uber Eats storefronts.

The practical flow has three linked parts:

1. A restaurant selects the menu and items offered on Uber Eats, including channel-specific price adjustments.
2. A customer’s order enters Square’s order management and kitchen systems.
3. Restaurant staff use operating controls to manage incoming demand and the courier handoff.

Those capabilities were documented for U.S. merchants. The international announcement does not provide country-by-country confirmation of every feature.

The May guide already described U.S. self-service onboarding. April’s forthcoming self-signup language gives no market breakdown, leaving enrollment in the new countries unclear.

The POS becomes the channel control point#

Square’s October 2025 product release placed its delivery integrations within a broader menu-management design. Restaurants could create and synchronize menus across online ordering, kiosks and delivery apps, with availability and layout controlled by location and channel. Square’s October platform update

That matters for a chain with different assortments across stores. A shared menu system can preserve local choices while giving staff one place to maintain what each channel offers. Square also described its newly added Grubhub integration alongside Uber Eats and DoorDash.

The April partnership extends that approach geographically. Its operational promise rests on bringing delivery work into the system employees already use to prepare orders. The announcement provides no measured change in error rates, staffing needs or restaurant earnings.

Payment settlement sits alongside fulfillment. Square’s May 13, 2025 release described same-day Uber Eats and DoorDash earnings through Instant Payouts into Square Checking. It also cautioned that technical issues could affect fund availability. Square’s May 2025 release

The October update specified that Instant Payouts required Square Checking and that payout limits could apply. These earlier descriptions establish U.S. product history, rather than settlement terms for six new markets. The expansion’s next concrete milestones are local availability and onboarding details, which determine when restaurants can use the connection.
