Square will send payment to your vendor or supplier via ACH bank transfer if their bank account details are on file. Funds will arrive in your vendor’s bank account in one to two business days after you initiate the payment.

There are three ways to obtain your vendor’s bank account details:

• If the vendor’s bank account information is on the invoice or bill, Square will automatically populate it in the “Vendor account details” section when you upload or take a photo of the document.
• If you have previously obtained your vendor’s bank account information, enter it manually in the “Vendor account details” section.
• You can also request vendor bank account details via Square. To do so:
  1. Click on the vendor name to edit.
  2. Click Vendor bank account details.
  3. Ask the vendor for payment details.
  4. Enter your contact’s email address and select Send.
  5. Your vendor will receive an email from Square that will direct them to a secure page to provide their bank account information.

Note: If you’re adding a new vendor, new vendor bank accounts are verified in two to three business days. Transfers can only take place after verification.

You can still schedule and initiate payment if your vendor’s bank account details are not on file. In this case, on your scheduled payment date (i.e., when Square will charge your payment source), your vendor will receive an email to either provide bank account details or accept a digital check.

If your vendor chooses to accept a digital check, they will have 90 days from the date they first downloaded the check to deposit it. After 90 days, the check will be voided, and you will get a refund to your original payment source. If they choose to accept the payment via digital check, they can follow the steps below to deposit the check:

1. Print the check on plain white paper.
2. Verify that texts and bank numbers are legible.
3. Cut on the dotted lines, sign the back, and make a mobile check deposit using a banking app.

If you are concerned about vendors not responding to payment notifications or have vendors that do not want to handle modern digital payments, you may send a paper check.

Square will charge you first and issue a check to your vendor using a Square bank account. Square handles both check printing and mailing.

Checks will be delivered in four to six business days via USPS First Class Mail. As you select the paper check option, you must confirm the vendor’s address (and edit if necessary). If not already on file, you may add the address. Note: This will be offered at no cost for a limited time.

You will receive multiple notifications indicating the completion of an action, namely when Square issues and mails a paper check on your behalf, when a paper check is delivered to your vendor, and when the payment is cleared.

Note: A paper check shall remain valid for 90 days from the date it is issued.
