payment processing fees

When processing payments using Squarespace, I pay a percent to Squarespace and then a "processor" such as Stripe?

Hey there @ebc123. This is a board for Square, not SquareSpace which is a competitor to Square. We can not answer questions about SquareSpace here. You’ll have to go to their website for assistance.

If you just misspoke, then the answer is no. If you process payments using Square POS or in an online store hosted by Square, you will only pay Square card processing fees. The same goes for Stripe, which is also a Square competitor. You’d only pay card processing fees to Stripe if you choose to process a card with Stripe.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, I did mean Square.

Can you create a website using Square? Or do you/can you integrate it with a website creator such as Wix?

Never mind. I found the page.

Ok. And you can do both. Square has a website builder that is integrated with your item catalog if you want an online store. Or you can build one using a third-party that integrates with Square. The Square App Marketplace has many such third-party apps. Search for “website.”

Thank you! This forum is very helpful and has influenced me a lot as far as deciding to sign up with Square.
