How much does this cost?

How much does using this actually cost us as business owners

Check out the What are Square's Fees? help page for specific information.

I can tell you that I use a mix of regular swipes on the Point of Sale, Invoicing both with and without Card on File, and online orders every month and I average 2.85%. The Card on File and Online Orders are a higher rate, which is what bumps my rate up a bit.

There are no hidden charges, batch fees, statement fees, different card type multipliers, higher fees for certain cards, or any of that other mumbo-jumbo the other companies use to get more into their pockets.

Hi, so if I have a customer online purchase, that will be 2.85%?thanks, brand new to this!

Hi @Bablily!

The 2.85% I mentioned above was my average fees overall with online store purchases, invoicing, card on file transactions, and day-to-day transactions.

Online store transactions themselves are charged 2.9% + 30¢.

You can check out all the fees Square charges on their Fees Help Page.

@Bablily I've been at this small biz ownership thing for just about 11 years now. It's been the hardest, most infurating, most rewarding, and most enjoyable roller coaster ride I've ever been on, and I wouldn't change it for the world. As long as you know you're about to work a ton of hours for not a lot of money at first, you'll be fine! 😄
