Get Rewarded when you Sign Up for Square with a Friend’s Referral Link

If you have a friend who uses Square, they can send you an invitation to sign up from their Square Point of Sale app or online Square Dashboard. If you follow the link and successfully create an account, both you and your friend will receive free processing for the next $1,000 of card sales or $20 off the purchase of a Square Reader, Square Terminal, or Square Stand from Square Shop. Once you sign up with your friend’s referral link, you’ll need to complete activation with Square in order to obtain your referral reward. If you do not make a reward choice prior to the processing payment or within 30 days of sign up, the free processing reward will be automatically applied to your account.

View Your Referrals and Rewards

You can view your available and claimed rewards, share your unique referral link and review free processing details from both your Square Point of Sale app and your online Square Dashboard.

  • From your Square Point of Sale app, tap  ≡ More > Rewards & Referrals.

  • From your online Dashboard, navigate to Account & Settings > Get Free Processing. From this page, you can also add your referral link to your receipts by toggling on Add your referral link to Square Receipts.

You can check your remaining in-app or from your online Square Dashboard. From the Referrals page of your Point of Sale app, you can click on an individual reward to view the card transactions that your free processing reward has been applied. From the Get Free Processingpage of your online Square Dashboard, you can view your active rewards, the amount processed and past rewards.

Note: Once your reward is applied, you’ll see fee reimbursements grouped with each transfer. Free processing credits are only valid for 180 days. Once your free processing is finished, standard fees for card sales will apply.
