- What is Square's in-person processing fee?
- Square charges 2.6% + $0.15 per transaction for in-person payments on the Free plan. Plus plan reduces this to 2.5% + $0.15, and Premium plan to 2.4% + $0.15.
- Why is the manually entered card rate higher?
- Manually keyed-in transactions carry higher fraud risk since the card isn't physically present. Square charges 3.5% + $0.15 for these transactions to account for the increased risk of chargebacks and fraud.
- What is the Square ACH transfer fee?
- Square charges 1.0% for ACH bank transfers with no per-transaction fixed fee. This makes ACH the most cost-effective option for larger transactions where the percentage-based fee is still lower than card processing costs.
