Square offers subscription services where you’re billed monthly for all active paid services (excluding free trials). Subscriptions are built around your business, whether you’re using Advanced Access to manage your staff and rosters, or Square Appointments to manage your clients’ services, you can try them for free for 30 days.

Subscription 30-Day Free Trial
Try Square’s subscription services free for 30 days.
If you’re enrolled in a free trial and wish to cancel the service, you’ll need to wait the full 30 days for the trial to complete. After the trial ends, you’ll have the option to subscribe or discontinue the service.
Note: If you subscribe mid-month, you’ll be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the month.
Pay for Square Subscriptions
Pay with a Credit Card
Square accepts all major credit cards as a payment method for subscription services. Square will charge your credit card on the first of the month. This method of payment is best if you want to separate your subscription service expenses from your transaction fees. Your subscription fees will appear on your card statement, while transaction fees will appear in your transfer details report.
Applicable Subscription Taxes
In any province where sales tax on Square’s subscription products may apply, you’ll be charged the applicable sales taxes over and above the price of the subscription. This will be automatically applied to the amount of your subscription, and the entire amount, including tax, will be deducted from your preferred payment method at the time of billing.
