Disable Signatures for Payments
Card Providers don’t require signatures for Dip, Tap and Swipe payments in the US and Canada. To help speed up your checkout experience, the Square app allows you to disable customer signatures for all card payments. Starting in April 2021, Square will automatically disable signature collection for Sellers who are still collecting signatures on devices.
Additionally, signatures are not essential to win chargebacks, and not collecting signatures will not affect your processing rates. Disabling signatures will make your checkout experience even faster and safer — and just as secure for you and your customers. To enable or disable your signature settings:
From the navigation bar at the bottom of your screen, tap More.
Tap Settings > Checkout > Signature & Receipt.
Toggle Collect Signature off or on.
Adjust Signature Settings

From the navigation bar at the bottom of your screen, tap More.
