Best Answer

 Square can definitely process US-issued (and also most internationally-issued) magstripe and chip cards bearing a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, or UnionPay logo.

The following card types are accepted through Square:

  • Credit
  • Corporate
  • Debit (processed as a credit transaction)
  • Prepaid
  • Rewards

I hope this helps to clear things up. Let me know if you have any other questions about accepted cards. 💳 😎

@Jeanfrancofv - Visa cards are among Square's list of accepted card brands, so you absolutely  can accept Walmart Visa gift cards.

Hi @TRAUB

 

I've moved your post over to this existing thread. 

 

While I'm not familiar with Scota Bank, so long as it has one of the listed credit card logos, you should be able to accept it with no trouble. 

 

Check out this article for more information:

Hey @m29mike

 

I've moved your post over to this existing thread that touches on which cards can be accepted with Square. 

 

While I'm not familiar with United Airlines Vouchers, if they don't meet the criteria mentioned in the Best Answer, unfortunately you won't be able to accept that as a form of payment through your Square account.

Until last week i was able to process united airlines ground transportation credit card vouchers. But now it declines my charges. I know that the zip code and every thing is correctly entered. Any help would be appreciate.

HI @Yoadber

 

I moved your post over to this existing thread, as a fellow seller had the same questions recently. 

 

So long as the card being accepted fits our Accepted Card criteria, you should be able to manually enter the information. 

 

I'm not familiar with United Airlines Credit Card Vouchers, but check out the Accept Cards criteria in the Best Answer and make sure this is something that can be accepted with Square.

Did you find a way to accept the payments from United Airlines? I do transportation for them too. And can never get it to work on Square. Talked to support and got nowhere. But works on PayPal business but over a certain amt they put a 30 day hold on getting your money...

When you get a chance give our Support team a call. Typically with these issues we need to check into how your business is registered and confirm you are registered with the correct Merchant Code.

 

Please use: squ.re/contact and go through the steps of trying to find your issue. If you click > I Don't See My Issue, it will give you an option to call our Customer Success team.

Hey @Lyndelf, thanks for reaching out to us!

The answer my colleague provided to m29mike remains the same here, the payment type will need to meet our Accepted Cards requirements in order to be processed successfully with Square.

I hope this helps to answer your query!

these cards are accepted, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, or UnionPay logo cards.  there are HSA health insurance cards that only work if your Square account has the correct billing code in Square.

Here's a link to Square's site where they list the cards that they accept.  Good news: yes they do accept AmEx, we regularly process sales using their cards.
