Horrible customer support team

Horrible customer support team! They were rude and very condescending! They put to separate reviews on my account as soon as a larger deposit made. They held my money fir days and told me It would be 4-5 days before I could speak to a supervisor! It was a horrible frustrating experience and as soon as I figured out how to unsubscribe i will, but they make that just as hard! This app/company are scam artists!!

Wait list requests should be easier to book. Now I have to make a whole new appointment. There should be a feature to either accept the appointment or propose a new date and time or reject it.

You’re totally right that this feels clunky — having to create a whole new appointment from a wait list request isn’t ideal. I really like your idea of being able to accept, propose a new time, or decline right from the request; I’ll log this as a feature request and share it with the product team so they can consider it for future updates.

I love Square...but...

I love Square!

It's great for all of my business needs. I just wish I had more volume in sales so I could take advantage of more tools that currently cost too much for my small business.

My chief complaint would be how my website is. It is hard to change things and not every page is visible despite my best efforts. I keep getting notifications that some of the pages aren't indexing correctly and it can't be resolved....so that's a pain.

Thanks so much for your kind words — we’re really glad Square has been a good fit for your business!

We hear you on both points. As your business grows, we hope more of those tools become accessible and continue to support you along the way.

Regarding your website, that definitely sounds frustrating. Issues with page visibility and indexing shouldn’t be that difficult to manage, and we’d like to help take a closer look at what’s going on there.

If you’re open to it, please reach out to our support team so we can review your site setup and help troubleshoot those indexing issues.

Cancelled our account without warning!

We didn't have an issue with Square until they cancelled our account without giving a valid reason for doing so. They also said that we couldn't appeal the decision. We own a hemp dispensary, so I guess that's the reason?? We used Square for 6 years, and for them just to cancel our account without a valid reason is unacceptable. I read where they are doing this to other small businesses as well. I would not recommend this company to anyone because of their unethical business practices, and lack of compassion for small businesses!

Thanks for taking the time to share this - we understand how disruptive and frustrating it is to have your account closed.

We can’t discuss individual accounts or decisions on a public site, but in general Square may deactivate accounts under our Terms of Service for a range of reasons, including (but not limited to) business type, how the account is being used, exposure to disputes/chargebacks, security concerns, or regulatory and card network requirements.

We know that doesn’t change the impact this has had on your business, and your feedback about communication, transparency, and how these decisions feel for small businesses is important. We’ll share it with the relevant teams as we continue working to make our policies and messaging clearer for sellers.

RELEASE MY FUNDS!

Square has been holding funds due to me for a 90 day period, that is now approaching 120 days, for reasons that nobody can explain. No customer support. Never a reasonable answer. Never any solution. I am certain this scam company is holding a substantial amount of money from customers who are dealing with the same issues. Completely criminal in nature.

Dispute square

I have been with square for over 10 years
Never have a dispute in my account
I also use their invoicing service
The one time I got a dispute from a thief saying he had no knowledge of card being charged
While I have written proofs and videos of this customer buying at my store and WhatsApp massages of customer acknowledging the fact he got the goods
Square could not have my back and end up giving my money to the customer Not even fighting back for me

Incredible employees with immense care, support, and kindness. The Square team is absolutely incredible at their jobs and doesn't get enough credit for it. I couldn't have asked for more when I had a problem, and their want for fixing the issue was amazing!

I give two stars to square just for the…

I give two stars to square just for the fact the platform is instant payouts. That is about all that’s great about this platform, if you can even get a payout. I had one successful transaction with square, just one. After Square put my account in review for one payment, I cashed it out instantly. Then my account goes in review again and I had to verify id for the 5th time in the 5 days I had the account. My identity didn’t change, I’m the same person. Then my accts closed, for absolutely no reason, I accepted one payment just one.
So to recap I had my square acct for 5 days, I had to id verify 5 times in 5 days, I got to accept one payment, my account went into review 5 times and then closed.
There is security and then there is ridiculous! Square is the captain of ridiculous. Why create a payment platform if you don’t want people to accept payments? Make it make sense Square! Your reputation of account closures for no reason is almost as bad as cashapp! Square needs to reevaluate its platform because your not helping businesses succeed, all you do is contribute to pissed off customers, businesses having to give refunds and not allowing businesses to provide a steady payment platform!

We apologize for the frustrating experience. We don't have any additional information we can provide from our end, but our Account Services team should have reached out by email for more context on the reasoning for deactivation as well as a timeframe for your next transfer.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

When I was renewing my Weebly subscription for two years, my bank somehow got it into their heads that this was a monthly subscription. I emailed Square customer service and got a reassuring response within six hours, along with documentation to forward to the bank to correct their error. I could not have asked for better back-up from Square. Very impressive. Michael Delahaye, Adelaide, Australia.

The Customer Service is Horrible

I've been having a problem with my automatic payments to Square credit card. Recently, the automatic payments are (reversing) my best guess. I've talked to several of your representatives and they don't seem to know why (after 20-30 minutes on the phone with them) They tell me that they are "escalating" it to a supervisor and I should hear back in 3 to 5 business days. I've checked my emails and voicemails for the past 3 months and no one's reached out. Today, May 4th 2026 I spoke w/ four of your representatives. Three of them hung up on me. One of them, Alex T. made a mockery of my circumstances before hanging up. Then finally, Darlyn came into the que and explained, she'd not seen any records of my circumstances being escalated. She was very helpful. I've never received this level of unprofessionalism from Square before. IWhat a horrible experience

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. The level of service you described - including being disconnected multiple times and not treated with respect - does not reflect the standard we hold ourselves to.

Regarding your automatic payments appearing to reverse: this is most commonly caused by your linked bank account declining or returning the autopay debit. This can happen if there are insufficient funds at the time of the pull, if your bank has placed restrictions on the account, or if your bank account details have changed. When a debit is returned, the payment reverses and your credit card balance adjusts back - which understandably looks confusing from your end.

We attempted to reach out to you through Trustpilot to get your account details so we could investigate your specific situation, but unfortunately we didn't hear back. We'd still love to help resolve this for you. Here's what we recommend:

1. Log in to your Square Dashboard and check your linked bank account under your Credit Card payment settings to confirm the account is current and active.

2. If your bank details have changed, update your funding source so future autopay attempts can process successfully.

3. If you'd prefer, you can also make a manual payment directly from your Dashboard at any time.

If you'd like us to look into your account directly, please contact us at 1-855-700-6000 and ask to be connected to the Credit Card support team so we can review your payment history and ensure everything is set up correctly going forward.

square shut down my account on 4 feb 2026 and told me my funds would be released after 60 days. That time is now up, and I still haven't received a single cent. I've contacted support many times and only get generic, copy paste replies with no real timeline or explanation.
This is my money. Money I earned. And square is just sitting on it with no clear answers and no urgency. If you are a small business owner or freelancer thinking about using square, please be careful. Their promises mean nothing.

Thanks for taking the time to share this - we understand how upsetting it is to have your account deactivated and still be waiting on funds you’ve earned.

We tried to reach out to you via Trustpilot for more information so we could look into your case internally, but we didn’t hear back.

In general, when an account is deactivated under our Terms of Service, funds are typically held for up to 90 days to cover any potential disputes or chargebacks that could be raised in that period. Deactivations and holds can occur for a range of reasons, including (but not limited to) unusual or higher-risk activity, your business type, exposure to disputes/chargebacks, security or safety concerns, or regulatory and card network requirements.

Your feedback about communication and clarity is important. While we can’t address your individual case here, we’ll share this feedback with the relevant teams as we continue working to make our processes and messaging clearer for sellers.

It seems like everything is too expensive, and I have to pay for every add on seperatly it starts to be too much. I'm already paying a lot for the website every year, and it's too limited in what comes with it. Being able to set up events and keep track of orders is nice, though, and I appreciate that being free at least

Thanks for sharing this feedback - we understand it can feel like costs add up quickly when different tools and add-ons are priced separately.

Square’s goal is to let businesses pick only the products they need (like website, appointments, marketing, etc.), but we know that can feel limiting if you’re already paying for a website and still need additional features. It’s good to hear that the free tools for setting up events and tracking orders are helping, and we’ll share your comments with the relevant teams as we continue reviewing how our pricing and included features feel for sellers.

Such an average tech company

Such an average tech company. I have two businesses, one that uses Square and the second with Gusto. It's night and day different how much better Gusto is regarding payroll.

Square is just behind the game on UI and features. For example, New York requires businesses to register for Secure Choice and literally every other payroll provider has an integration with Secure Choice except Square. So frustrating, but this is how Square functions.

Also, the amount of outages Square has is crazy.

Customer support is decent though.
