How Square sellers are shifting their businesses.

Here are a few ways you can run your business a little more safely in today’s environment.


Get paid fast, every time

  • Get your money in your bank account as soon as the next working day
  • Never miss a sale again with the ability to accept payments wherever you are, even when you don't have an internet connection.
  • Keep an eye on your cash flow with real-time updates about your sales and inventory.

Spend less time and money on your payments

  • Sign up and start taking payments with Square in minutes. No bank visits or merchant accounts required.
  • There aren’t any monthly fees, statement fees, chargeback fees or any other small print. You pay only when you make a sale.
  • When payment disputes occur, our team of experts deals with the bank for you so you can focus on more important things, like your customers.

Keep you and your customers’ data secure

  • Security is engineered into our products from the ground up. We follow industry requirements that keep data safe (instead of passing that responsibility on to you).

  • Our tools prevent the wrong people from accessing your account.

Here to help you succeed

  • Speak with a real person when something’s not right. Our in-house phone support is available Monday–Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT, or you can email them anytime, 24/7.
  • Have a quick question? Search our Support Center from the point of sale 24/7, including tutorial videos.

“Square is honest, transparent, helpful and available. Square saved me money by getting rid of all the hidden fees I used to pay and protecting me when I experienced a dispute. It’s so simple I don’t even need an accountant. My customers feel empowered to pay the way they want which has helped grow my business.”
