Square Bill Pay FAQ

You can pay your vendors using Square Checking or any credit or debit card.

As a vendor or supplier, you can choose to receive payment from a Square merchant in one of two ways; by ACH bank transfer or by a digital check. A digital check is a check in PDF format that Square emails to you on behalf of the merchant. You can then download, print, and make a mobile check deposit. Learn more about Receiving Square Bill Pay Payments as a Vendor.

1. Go to Payments > Bill Pay > Vendors on your online Square Dashboard.
2. Click Create vendor.
3. Fill out the vendor’s information and account details.
4. Click Save.

You can also add a new vendor when creating a bill.

Note: New vendor bank accounts are verified in two to three business days. Bank transfers can only take place after verification.

Yes, you can connect to verified companies within our network when adding a new bill.

When adding a bill, you can find Square verified vendors via search. Enter your account details associated with that vendor to set up the connection and you will be able to make electronic payments to them via Square. If uploading a bill, you will be given the option to pay the biller network vendor or create a new vendor.

Once we have your vendor’s bank account information, most payment methods take one to two business days to get from your account to your vendor’s bank account. Mailed paper checks are delivered in four to six business days. For more information on payment method timing and fees, go to your Bill Pay Settings page.

Your vendor will need to provide their bank account information in order to be paid by direct transfer (ACH). You can enter those details manually if you already have them. If not, we can send a request to your vendor to securely provide them. If neither option is suitable, we can email a digital check to your vendor that they can download, print, and deposit. To have Square mail a paper check on your behalf, you need to provide the physical address of your vendor or a P.O. Box.

You can cancel pending payments if your vendor has not provided their bank account information or downloaded a digital/printable check. To cancel, open the bill, click the three dots next to Edit, and select Cancel payment.

To cancel a pending check, you should contact Square Support.
