Square and fair pricing.
Our pricing is transparent
There’s no guessing with every transaction – what you see is what you pay, period. You can log in and see your Square rate at any time in your Dashboard.
You pay the same rate for every credit card
We don’t charge different rates for different credit cards. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and international cards all cost the same rate.
You pay one flat rate for every debit card
Pay just 10¢ for every debit transaction. Use Square Reader, Square Terminal or Square Stand to accept debit tap and chip & PIN payments.
You never deal with additional fees
No monthly fees, authorization fees, statement fees, refund or chargeback fees, PCI compliance fees, reward card fees — you get the idea.
There’s so much included with every account.
Square is much more than a payments processor—we’re a partner. Every Square account includes a full set of features to ensure you’re set up for success.
