I’m incredibly disappointed in Square’s handling of payments and customer support. Without any clear explanation, they have placed a lengthy hold on my funds and deactivated my account —despite my client already paying in full. As a small business owner, this is devastating, especially with an event happening this weekend. Now, I won’t receive payment until June.

For those starting a business, I strongly urge you to explore other payment platforms. Reliable cash flow is essential, and unfortunately, Square has proven to be an obstacle rather than a support system.

If you’ve had similar experiences, I’d love to hear how you navigated them. Let’s support each other in finding better solutions!
