Hello! I dont see most of the options, does it block some of the features in other countries? I am from Aruba.

[@ccduky]

Hello! I am not sure actually, but it wouldn't surprise me if you had different options in another country.

Can you use a personal checking account to receive payments?

How much the subscription per month?

[@ccduky]

Hello! Square does not require you to have a subscription. It will take off a percentage of each transaction instead. So- you only pay for it when you use it. Here is some more information: squareup.com/us/en/pricing

I made a large sale and they been holding my account for a week

[@drengr2759]

You really should read the TOS. It's legally their money for weeks or months. You have no legal right to your income until Square releases it to you. If you need your money faster, Square is the worst possible option. Paypal started doing that to me so I moved to Square, and learned that they are even worse than Paypal.

[@truthonly7777]

They didn't ask you for company documents???

[@Caesar-t5l]

They ask you for everything, Evey little detail will need to be met, but then they just shut people down without reasons as to why. Don't trust this company

How do you set up a second square account

[@ccduky]

Hello! Are you trying to set up a Square account for a separate business than your first account?

[@Caesar-t5l]

How did you get your first one to work? My husband and I have tried first with me and then with him. Everytime we had a customers card go through they froze our account asked for a bunch of documents, we gave them everything. All legit information all good customers but yet they still shut us down! They won't even give a reason as to why. How is anyone supposed to trust this company when we provide you everything you ask for, 99% of it is very sensitive information, just for them to say "thank you for providing documents and answering all our questions, this review is closed now,you may continue to use square". Then a few hours later get a email that just says "we've closed your account indefinitely" I'm so lost
