Payments for everywhere you sell. Counter, tableside, curbside, the job site, the farmers market, the website. One account, one login, one set of numbers.
Square will provide all the details to show you how to pass the fee.
The new all in one POS that fits in your pocket. From curbside to counter, 0.7 pounds with a built in scanner and offline payments for up to 24 hours. $399, or $37 per month for 12 months.*
A handheld with a built in receipt printer. Take the payment at the door or the job site and hand over a printed receipt on the spot. $299, or $27 per month for 12 months.*
A durable POS with dual touchscreens for busy counters. The customer display shows cash price and card price clearly, which is exactly what 0% processing needs. $899, or $44 per month for 24 months.*
Turn your iPad into a point of sale. A full register that swivels to the customer, the lowest cost way to put real checkout on a small counter. $149, or $14 per month for 12 months.*
Self serve ordering. Customers build the order and pay themselves, the line moves faster and every screen upsells. $149, or $14 per month for 12 months.*
A pocket contactless and chip reader that pairs to your phone. The simplest way to start, on the same Square account you grow into. A magstripe reader comes free with signup.
*Monthly pricing is Square financing, subject to approval. Kiosk and Stand prices exclude the iPad.
POS kits bundle a printer, cash drawer and scanner with any of the above. Whichever you choose, you pick how you pay to get paid: nothing, or the lowest flat rate in the industry.
You sell away from a fixed counter, so the register has to travel with the sale.
Also worth a look: Square Register. Many full service restaurant setups run the two together.
Your shelf price is the card price. Customers who pay cash get 4% off at the register. Both prices show on the Square screen before they choose.
Both run on every Square terminal, point of sale and handheld. Pick one and sign up on Square in minutes.
Estimates based on the volume and rate you enter. Effective rate is total monthly fees divided by card volume. Actual results depend on card mix and debit share.
Every other company sells you their platform because it is their platform. We sell Square, Clover and Dejavoo, so we can afford to be straight about it. Open any card for the full side by side.
Because your counter is not an afterthought to your website.
If ninety percent of your revenue is online and you run a large catalog with apps, Shopify is a strong platform. Most of our merchants sell in person first.
Square vs ShopifyBecause your price should not depend on which reseller signed you.
We sell Clover too. If your business needs Clover's specific app or a Fiserv relationship, we will say so and set it up.
Square vs CloverBecause you should be live in days, not weeks, and run it yourself.
Lightspeed goes deeper on matrix inventory for very large multi store retailers. For most independent stores the depth is not worth the cost.
Square vs LightspeedBecause a statement you cannot read is not a good deal.
Very high volume merchants with a clean card mix can sometimes win on interchange plus. Bring us the statement and we will do the math.
Square vs HeartlandBecause your point of sale should not be discontinued.
If you are still on QuickBooks POS, the question is not whether to move but where. Square is the lowest friction landing.
Square vs QuickBooksPer location software plans, plus Square's published rack rates, or Square's 4% cash discount through Deposyt to offset processing. Hardware is separate. We will tell you which path matches your volume.
Explore Square through Deposyt. We connect you with the Square team for sales and setup, and remain an additional point of contact for guidance and follow-through.
Get Square with an additional human relationship through Deposyt. Square supports you directly. Deposyt adds the relationship on top: follow-through, an agreed escalation path, and a person who already knows your setup. Explore tools that flex to fit your operation, no commitment required.
Same Square account. Same hardware. Same published price, 2.6% or lower. The difference is who you get with it: someone local who sets it up with you, knows your business, and answers the phone when you call.
Your items, menu or services loaded, your devices paired, your staff walked through checkout before the first customer. You open ready.
Bring what you pay today. We show you the real effective rate, what Square costs on the plan that fits, and whether the move comes out ahead.
Free, Plus or Premium, matched to how many staff and locations you run. Most shops start on Free and move up when the numbers say so.
Square's help center and chat are good. When the register is down on a Saturday, you call someone who already knows your setup.
New location, new device, a second menu, volume heading toward custom pricing. The same person helps you grow the setup.
2.6% + 15¢ is Square's in person rate on Square Free, the $0 plan. On Plus ($49 a month per location) it drops to 2.5% + 15¢, and on Premium ($149 a month per location) to 2.4% + 15¢. Every major card costs the same.
For a flat, published rate with no monthly fee, no contract and no statement fees, yes. Many processors quote a lower headline rate, then add monthly minimums, PCI fees, batch fees and tiered surcharges. Once those are counted, effective rates of 3.5% or more are common. Square's rate is the rate you pay.
Yes. On any Square plan you can run 0% processing with a cash discount or a service charge. The ticket covers the fee and you keep the whole sale. Start on the flat rate and switch later if you like.
Over $250,000 a year, you may qualify for Square Pro custom pricing and processing fees. We start that conversation with Square for you.
You get the same Square account, hardware and published pricing either way. Through a partner you also get a person: help choosing the right setup, your catalog and devices set up with you, and someone who already knows your business when something needs attention.
No. You pay Square's published rates and plan prices. There is no partner fee on your statement.
A person. Square offers a help center, an automated assistant and live chat on every plan, and phone support that depends on your plan: weekdays for the first 90 days on Free, weekdays on Plus, 24/7 on Premium. Your partner sits on top of that as a local contact who knows your setup, so you never start from zero.
You do, on Square. Square holds your account, runs the payments and pays you out. Your partner never touches your funds.
Square publishes one price for everyone and builds its own hardware and software, so what you see is what you pay. Clover pricing varies by who sells it, and many features come from third party apps with their own monthly fees. Clover can suit some full service restaurants and bars with specific needs. Tell us how you run and we will say which one fits, even if it is not Square.
Yes. Square for Restaurants handles floor plans, coursing, seat numbers, split checks, preauthorized bar tabs and automatic gratuity. Servers take orders and payment at the table on Square Handheld. The Square KDS app ($30 a month per device on Plus) routes tickets to the kitchen, and Square Kiosk adds self ordering.
Square for Retail scans or searches barcodes to build your catalog, tracks stock by location, sends low stock alerts, manages vendors and purchase orders, and prints barcode labels. The same item library runs your online store, so you sell the last one once.
Square supports integrated scales and weighted barcodes, adds bottle deposits automatically per item, and accepts EBT for SNAP eligible items. EBT is 1.8% + 5¢ on every plan, with the fee waived while the feature is in beta through fall 2026.
Yes. Set age restrictions on beer, wine, spirits and tobacco, and Square prompts staff to verify age at checkout. Bottle deposits and barcode inventory are built in.
Square Appointments gives every chair its own calendar, a 24/7 booking site, a Book Now button for Instagram and Google, automatic text and email reminders, deposits, and a card on file for late cancellations and no shows.
Take a deposit when the appointment is booked, send contracts and consent forms for e-signature, and charge the balance on the day. Estimates convert to invoices in one tap for larger pieces and multi session work.
Usually, yes. Send us the agreement and a recent statement. We check the early termination terms, work out whether switching still comes out ahead, and time the move so you pay as little of the cancellation fee as possible.
Most sellers sign up with Square in minutes and can take a first payment the same day on a phone with Tap to Pay. Hardware ships in a few days, and we help load your items and set up the devices when they arrive.
Square keeps taking cards in offline mode and processes them when you reconnect, as long as you reconnect within 24 hours.
Next business day to your bank at no cost, or instantly for a fee. With Square Checking, sales are available right after each payment.
