To clarify the question without trying to answer it myself, restated in terms of Amazon rather than the less-understood Square Store, here are two similar questions that may have different answers under the Square terms update:

Does the AGPL specify its terms of infection such that “a third-party seller listing a physical CD full of AGPL software sold on Amazon” would bind Amazon by the terms of AGPL source code release for Amazon.com?

Does the AGPL specify its terms of infection such that “a third-party seller publishing CD listings to Amazon using an AGPL script” would bind Amazon by the terms of AGPL source code release for Amazon.com?

And so in those terms, the core question of this thread is, “may I sell items and services on Square that are composed of AGPL code as long as I do not use AGPL-containing or AGPL-integrated code or content when interacting with or publishing listings on the Square Store or when interacting in any way with Square services or APIs?”.
