Writers, artists, therapists, and other professionals can use Square Online Checkout to easily accept prepayment for their services or automatically charge for monthly services.
Health care and fitness
Simplify your existing billing process. Let your clients pay for classes, sessions, and services by allowing them to enter the specific amount of their bill and submit payment online. No more paper checks to process.
Remarkably flexible and shareable.
Use options like pay links, buy buttons, or QR codes for whatever you’re selling and share them with customers in all kinds of ways.
Embed buy buttons on websites
Save your link as an embeddable buy button and easily put it on your existing website or instantly add eCommerce to your blog. Customize the text on buttons to reflect a specific action like, “Buy Now” or “Subscribe”. Even tailor the button color to match your brand.
Put QR codes on print pieces
Make scannable QR codes and place them on mailers, flyers, or signs to take customers directly to an online checkout page to pay on their mobile device. Accept remote and touch-free payments easily.
Share payment links in emails
Customize your checkout page, then copy and paste the link into emails, text messages, or on social media. With one click you can accept online payments easily from multiple channels.
