​​Accept Payments with Clearpay on Square Online

Square Online

Sell in more ways with a free online store.

Clearpay is a ‘buy now, pay later’ service that allows customers to pay for online orders in four interest-free payments over six weeks. You get the full amount – up front.

Clearpay requires no additional integration with your Square Online site. You’ll be automatically enabled to use Clearpay so you can boost online sales, increase average basket size and attract new customers. Learn more about how Clearpay works on their website.

Pricing

Enabling Clearpay with Square is free – there are no monthly fees or startup costs. The Clearpay processing fee is 6% + £0.30 per Clearpay order.

  • Square sellers using Clearpay get paid the full amount at the time of purchase, minus a processing fee on the total order.

  • You only pay when you make a sale – there are no processing fees charged on the remaining instalments or if your customer makes a late payment.

  • Clearpay rates are fixed and do not vary by subscription type, hardware or custom pricing.

Eligibility

Eligibility for Clearpay is dependent on numerous factors, including how your business is structured and what you sell. Here are some notes to keep in mind:

  • Sellers must be in an approved merchant category

  • Sellers must be based in the United Kingdom

  • Sellers can’t have multiple Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) or Unique Taxpayer References (UTRs)

  • Local delivery orders not supported

  • Self-serve (QR) ordering not supported

  • Item or basket totals outside of the eligible purchase range not supported

  • Restricted digital goods or services not supported

  • Cross-border orders not supported

We’ll work to expand the availability of Clearpay over time to give more sellers the opportunity to enable it on their sites. Review our Clearpay Merchant Terms for more information on eligibility, merchant categories and more.

Enable or Disable Clearpay
