  • How do I become Square Certified, and what does that entail?

    Once a partner signs an agreement, we’ll hold a kickoff call to discuss the criteria and requirements on how to pass certification, and we’ll provide a case study for review. Provided that the partner passes, they’ll become classified as “Square Certified.” We’ll then host a final onboarding call to go over the various partner tools and grant the partner access. Once these steps are completed, approved partners can start taking on projects for Square sellers through our Square specialists program.

  • How can I earn revenue by being a solutions partner?

    Solutions partners can earn a percentage of the adjusted revenue for payment processing when they implement Square through point-of-sale and eCommerce APIs. These earnings are capped at 24 months.

    For partners who refer to and build on Square Online, we have perpetual revenue share on our Square Online paid plans, as well as product bonuses on complementary products. The bonuses are attributed to point-of-sale implementations, on-demand delivery, and the number of partner referrals in a 12-month period. In order to be eligible, the seller must create their new Square account up to 30 days before or up to 60 days after the partner referral date.
