FAQ

Merchant questions, answered.

How fast can I be up and taking payments?+

Typically same day, often within an hour. Fill the short intake form, we complete the Square account setup for you, and Square's payfac model auto-approves most merchants immediately.

What is a Square account liaison?+

We’re a partner company that sits between you and Square — handling the application, onboarding, menu setup, delivery integrations and funding add-ons so you don't have to navigate it alone. Your account is still a real Square merchant account; we just make the route seamless.

Does going through Square Route cost me more than signing up directly with Square?+

No. You pay Square's same published pricing (most times discounted POS/terminals) either way. Going through Square Route adds white-glove setup, Instant Funding, one-click Uber Eats / DoorDash onboarding, and a real person to call — at no additional cost to you.

I already have a Square account. Can I move it over?+

Existing Square accounts can't be transferred to a reseller. If you'd like to work with us, we open a new merchant processing account through our intake link — most merchants keep both open briefly and migrate at their own pace.

What's the difference between Cash Discount and Service Charge?+

Both are 4% flat programs. Cash Discount: your printed and POS menu reflects the credit price and the receipt notes a discount when the customer pays cash. Service Charge: 4% is added on top of card transactions. Square supports both natively at the POS, and neither ever surcharges debit cards.

How does Instant Funding work?+

Powered by Netevia. When you close out your batch, your card sales settle into your account the same moment — instead of the traditional next-business-day wait. It works on top of any Square merchant account we open for you.

Do I have to sell food to use Square Route?+

No. Retail, wellness, appointment-based businesses and home services all board through the same flow. The Uber Eats and DoorDash add-ons are optional — sell with Square POS on its own if delivery isn't for you.

Can I get Square hardware at a discount through Square Route?+

Yes. As a direct Square partner, we leverage our reseller relationship to pass volume-based savings on to your business. Most merchants can get Square POS, Register, Terminal, Stand, or Reader devices at a lower upfront cost than retail pricing, without sacrificing full Square warranty, support, or future upgrades.

Who supports me after I'm live?+

Square Route handles onboarding and menu / storefront setup. Day-to-day Square support runs through the Square Dashboard and squareup.com/help. Square Plus ($49/mo) adds phone support 6am–6pm PT, Premium ($149/mo) is 24/7. We stay on call for anything beyond that.

What countries can I sign up in?+

Square Route leads in the US and Canada, and is compatible across all 8 Square markets: US, Canada, UK, Japan, Australia, Spain, France and Ireland.
