A few words on our pricing.
Our pricing is transparent
There’s no guessing with every transaction—what you see is what you pay, period. You can log in and see your Square rate at any time in your Dashboard.
You pay the same rate for every card
We don’t charge different rates for different credit cards. Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and, yes, American Express all cost the same rate.
You never deal with weird fees
No startup fees, authorization fees, statement fees, refund fees, PCI-compliance fees, business card fees—you get the idea.
There’s so much included with every account.
Square is much more than a payments processor—we’re a partner. Every Square account includes a full set of features to ensure you’re set up for success.

We do custom pricing, too.
Our standard rates are designed for businesses that process less than $250,000 per year and have an average ticket size under $15. We design pricing packages for larger businesses depending on payment volume, average transaction size, your history as a Square seller, and more. Occasionally custom rates can be more than 2.6% + 10¢. We’d love to have a conversation about it.
