Choosing a Payment Processor Is a Big Decision

Am I paying too much in processing fees?
Is my POS system keeping up with my business?
Can I get better customer support?
Are there more cost-effective options available?
Do I have a dedicated partner helping my business grow?

Square

Pricing: Simple Flat Rate

Square is known for simple, flat-rate pricing. For many small businesses, simplicity is attractive. However, businesses processing larger volumes may find that flat-rate pricing becomes more expensive over time.

Simple and predictable monthly statements
Higher effective rate at larger volumes
