Episode description
What to do when Square closes your account and you can't accept payments.
Just like with Stripe or PayPal or Shopify Payments, Square is keen on shutting down any account that has the slightest tinge of risk. If this happens to you, immediately open a backup account—but don't stop there. That acount is just for 10% of your transactions and to tide you over while you open a real merchant account.
Don't fall into the Square payments trap. If it's too easy to sign up and too good to be true, then run.
