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 the next business day (or instantly for a fee per transfer).
- 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 easily and start taking payments with Square. No bank visits or merchant accounts required.
- There aren’t any statement fees or any other small-type, weird-word fees. 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 your 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 systems constantly monitor for suspicious activity. If we suspect something fishy, we notify you and help you avoid lost goods or sales.
- Our tools help 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 9 a.m. to 5 p.m, or you can email them anytime, 24/7.
- Have a quick question? Search our Support Centre from the point of sale 24/7, including tutorial videos.
“We use Square’s Virtual Terminal to take payments from our clients over the phone. It’s been a real game-changer for the way we do business — it means our admin team can chase payments from the office. And it’s very reliable, the money is always in our account the next business day.”
