Take A Payment page blank?

KarenBanwell — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 13:09:17 GMT

For no reason I can see, my 'Take A Payment' page is now blank and I cannot charge my customers.

Has anyone had a similar experience please?

Thanks

Karen

Hey Karen - what device are you using? Not sure if it’s the online terminal, iPad/android etc.

As a general thing have you tried force closing the app & reopening? Bit like turning it off & on again I know 😂 but if there’s just a minor hiccup that should help set it right again 👍

I am using a desktop iMac. Yes, I've logged off and on again.

I have tried my iPhone and also my mac book air and I can log in and take payments from either of those. That's good and I have now charged all the outstanding amounts I needed to process.

But my desktop iMac is still refusing to load the 'take a payment' page. It is still coming up blank. I guess that means that Square has an issue with this device? I have not changed anything and have been using this iMac to charge all my customers since I signed up with Square. I'd say I've probably put around 50 transactions through with no trouble at all.

Thank you for the reply.

Hello @KarenBanwell and welcome to our Seller Community! We are excited to have you as a part of the community.

Are you trying to process payments from the Square Dashboard?

If so, the issue might be with the browser, sometimes if they're not up-to-date, pages won't load. I would suggest trying a different browser to see if that's the issue.

Thank you and see you around!

I am using safari on all 3 devices. It is working fine on the mac book and iPhone, just not on the iMac. Thanks for the response.

It is possible that one is updated and the other is not, as for the iPhone, it uses a different version of Safari.

I would suggest trying a different browser to see if that solves the issue and if it does, it's likely because Safari needs to be updated.

If that doesn't work, I would suggest contacting our Support team so they can assist. You can contact them here.

Thank you!

Hi Frances

I have tried google chrome on the iMac and this worked. So you are right about it being the browser that is the issue - rather than the machine itself. I have checked for available updates to safari and there are none available. (I always get updates when prompted.)

I have sent a couple of emails to support, but have not yet had an answer. I guess my issue is less urgent now, as I do have alternatives to use. But I would like to continue to use the safari browser on my iMac to charge my customers cards - as I have always done, so I will continue to pursue a solution.

Thanks for the assistance up to now.

Regards

Karen
