Nah. It's a pretty shitty product.

Square, you can pay a merchant from any lightning wallet and the merchant can receive Bitcoin (or convert it if they want).

PayPal, you can pay a merchant only from Bitcoin held by Paypal or a linked exchange account. They convert it to PayPal's stablecoin, then to USD. Merchant cannot receive Bitcoin. Maybe they could convert it on PayPal to Bitcoin for more fees.

Square hasn’t rolled out to all merchants. This is something new announced by PayPal as of today, rolled out to all US merchants. Are you describing this new rollout, or the approach they took a few years ago.

Sounds better than the current choice of Visa or MasterCard, TBH.
