Hi @librabean, sorry to hear you are running into this! Are you getting the message "This store is not yet accepting payments" by any chance? If so, here're some more steps you can try:

Make sure Order Online is enabled on your website. You can check this by navigating to your Square Dashboard > Online Store > Settings > Checkout
Make sure items are in stock and have fulfilment methods applied to them
Unpublish and republish your site to make sure the site is fully secured. Note: If you have a custom domain, it can take up to 48 hours for the site to show as secured.

If everything has been set up and your still cannot take payments, I'd recommend reaching out to our Support team for further assistance.

Here are the steps to contact Square Support by phone or by email:

Go to https://squareup.com/help/gb/en/contact
Select your topic or just click Other > I don’t see my issue, it’ll give you the option to either call or email in!

The phone number for Square Support is 0800 098 8008. The Square Support Team is available by phone Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
