Hi @Tophataz !

So sorry for the delay in response here. First, congratulations on creating a Square account! Welcome to Square.

Normally, you shouldn't have to complete the essential get started guide steps in order to start taking payments. The important steps are verifying your identity and making sure you have a linked bank account.

Here is a Get Started Guide if you are finding yourself still having issues.

Please reach out if you are still having difficulty!
