Online Payment processing

Please treat as urgent

“Payments can only be processed in the country in which you activate your account. You must be located in the country where you activated your Square account to process payments.”

I don’t understand the statement above. Can someone please enlighten me.

I want to do an integration between square online and printful right from Nigeria, so what I want to know is if I can use Square Online and accept card payment on square online from international customers.

Also I am unable to verify my account can I still accept card on square online or do I have to verify to accept card on square online

@theOlayiwolaP_ If you are doing business in the US you can accept payments in the US for International Customers:

Online store payments accepted using Square’s eCommerce solutions may originate from international customers. However, it’s also important to take additional precautions on these types of orders to help prevent fraud and disputes."

Here is the caveat, you must be selling something from the US. If you are trying to sell something in Nigeria to someone in Nigeria, you will not be able to do that. Also, if you are in Nigeria, you will not be able to use square as it is not supported in that country. Square will not support the transaction, will not send money there, etc.

That being said, due to the amount of fraud coming from Nigeria with phishing, if you are physically in Nigeria, your account will get flagged/locked. If you use any type of VPN, the software will also not work as it will look like it is coming from another country.

If you are in Nigeria you will not be able to use Square. Square does not have contracts with credit card companies in that country.
