Apply for Square hardware financing

Who is this article for?
  • Only account owners and authorized representatives can apply for financing to purchase Square hardware.
  • About installment payments for Square hardware

    Square hardware financing is a flexible payment option allowing you to purchase Square hardware and pay for it in monthly installments. Square hardware financing gives you a flexible way to make sure that you get the hardware you need for your business. You can pick the option that works best for your budget and business.

    An authorized user on your Square account, or an authorized person acting on your behalf, may apply.

    Before you begin

    You can apply for Square hardware financing if your Square Shop cart subtotal is $49 or more. Orders under $49 (before taxes) aren’t eligible. If your state charges sales tax, it will be due at checkout. To apply, you need to have a bank account successfully verified and linked. Learn to link and edit your bank account.

    All applications are subject to approval. During the application process, we run a soft credit inquiry, which doesn’t affect your credit score. If your application is declined or if you decide not to pay in installments, there’s no impact to your credit score. If you accept the terms and complete your purchase using financing, we’ll provide a customary hard credit inquiry notification to the credit bureaus that may affect your credit. Approved Square sellers are eligible for purchases of up to $10,000. 

    Unfortunately, we’re unable to approve every application. We’ll notify you via email immediately if your application is declined and give you the reason(s) why.

    At this time, Square hardware financing is not available in Alabama, Delaware, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire or Tennessee.
