We make taking payments one less thing to worry about.
Spend less time and money on your payments. We don’t charge you extra fees or lock you into long-term contracts. And we’ve got your back when it comes to data security and managing payment disputes.
Honest, fair pricing with no gotcha fees
There are a lot of fees out there: statement fees, chargeback fees, PCI compliance fees—the list goes on. We don’t do any of that. And long-term contracts? None of those, too.
Data security protects you and your customers
Security is engineered into our products from the ground up. We follow industry requirements that keep data safe (instead of passing that responsibility on to you).
We manage payment disputes so you don’t have to
We constantly monitor for suspicious activity and block fraudulent transactions. When payment disputes occur, our team of experts deals with the bank for you, helping you avoid costly chargebacks.
You already know how to use it.
Get up and running in fewer than five minutes—no need to go through a bank. Square Terminal is an intuitively designed credit card machine so you, your team, and your customers can use it right away.
