Square fees

The fees for taking a payment via Square are applied on a per transaction basis, and due to a change to the fee structure, currently depend on when you connected via WriteUpp.

From 23rd March 2023, the fees for taking a payment via Square and applied on a per transaction basis will be:

In person card payments - 1.75%
Online payments - 1.4% + 25p for transactions with UK cards and 2.5% + 25p for transactions with non-UK cards

This is due to an adjustment that Square have made to online processing rates.

For any questions about this change, please contact Square via their support centre.

If you started using Square via WriteUpp before 23rd January 2023, you will be charged:

In person card payments - 1.75%
Online payments - 1.4% + 25p for transactions with UK cards and 2.5% + 25p for transactions with non-UK cards

If you started using Square via WriteUpp between 23rd January 2023 and 23rd March 2023, during a 60 day transition period you will be charged the previous standard rates of:

In person card payments - 1.75%
Online payments - 1.9% for European cards or 2.9% for non European cards

Until 23rd May, when you will be switched to the new rates.

If you started using Square with WriteUpp after 23rd March 2023, you will be charged:

In person card payments - 1.75%
Online payments - 1.4% + 25p for transactions with UK cards and 2.5% + 25p for transactions with non-UK cards

If you need to check what rate you are receiving, please contact Square via their support centre.

There's no long term contract, and other than purchasing a Square Terminal which is required for in person payments, there are no other fees to be paid.

Square is only available to WriteUpp users based in the UK. For those of you who are not UK based, you will be able to set up Stripe, which allows online payments only
