FAQ

  • How much will I pay in processing fees?

    Processing fees vary based on the Square plan you choose. Square Premium offers the lowest processing fees. If you process over $250,000 per year, you can talk to our team about custom pricing and processing fees.

  • Is there a free trial and can I cancel later?

    Square Plus and Square Premium each offer a free 30-day trial, and you can cancel or switch plans at any point. With Square Free, there are no monthly subscription costs — you only pay processing fees when you take a payment.

  • Can I accept any type of credit card?

    You can accept every major card — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover — all for the same processing fees. You can also take cash, checks, and Square Gift Cards.

  • Do I need to purchase hardware?

    You do not need to purchase hardware. There are several ways to take payments without any hardware, including invoicing, payment links, virtual terminal, Tap to Pay on iPhone, and Tap to Pay on Android.

  • How can I get in touch for support?

    You can contact sales for support getting started or with your account.

1Offline payments are processed automatically when you reconnect your device to the internet and will be declined if you do not reconnect to the internet within 24 hours of taking your first offline payment. By enabling offline payments, you are responsible for any expired, declined, or disputed payments accepted while offline. Square is unable to provide customer contact information for payments declined while offline. Offline payments are not supported on Square Reader for contactless and chip (1st generation, v1 and v2).
