Hi @homeandscents,

Have you inputed any bank details into your square settings?

If you are not sure how to do this you please follow the steps below:

1. Open your square account and head to account and settings.

2. Click the account drop down menu.

3. Go to bank account and input your details.

Hi @homeandscents, thank you for reaching out! It does sound like the account may not have been activated for taking card payments.

Like @ClothingCity suggested, please make sure you have linked a bank account to Square. Due to requirements from the Financial Conduct Authority, you will need to link your bank account and wait for it to be successfully verified before taking payments.

If the bank account has been verified and you are still getting the error message, it'd be best to reach out to our Support team. Here are the steps to contact Square Support by phone or by email:

Hey Clair, if you go to the checkout section of settings is that turned on?

Hi @Claire_S, so sorry to hear you are having this problem!

If everything in the back-end is connected and the checkout/accept order online is turned one, please also check the following to make sure they've been set up correctly:

Make sure your bank account has been verified and linked by Square
Make sure your site is fully secured. If it isn't, you can unpublish and republish it to trigger a SSL certificate

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

This store is not yet accepting payments - Help please

Rubifresco1 — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 08:13:32 GMT

Hi,

I set up my website through Weebly and set up ‘Accept online orders’ for Square payments. My website doesn’t show ‘Add to cart’ and says ‘This store is not yet accepting payments’ I read on another thread it’s an SSL issue and to wait 48 hours but it’s been 4+ days now. Any help or advice for this?

thanks!

Hi @Rubifresco1, so sorry to hear this! Your website is fully secured so the SSL is not causing any issue. In this case, there're a few things you can check:

1. Make sure that you have enabled Accept online orders. You can find this under Settings > Checkout on your Online site

2. Make sure items are in stock and have fulfilment methods applied to them.

3. Unpublish and republish your site to make sure everything is updated

4. Make sure your account is activated for taking card payments by linking your bank. You can link your bank account from your Dashboard by following Account & Settings > Bank Accounts.

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:

'This store is not accepting payment' error identified as a bug?

EBal1 — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 16:09:49 GMT

I published my site and came up with the error 'this store is not accepting payment' on each of my items. I have toggled the online store to actively accept payments and I have my bank account details linked and verified. I have also published, unpublished and republished the site a few times and nothing has worked.

I contacted customer support, and after a week finally received a reply that my issue has been identified as a 'bug' and is being investigated by engineers - this was four days ago. They continued on to say that there is no timeframe and that someone will be in touch to follow up before concluding that if I do not receive a reply after 'some time' then the issue has not been resolved!

At this moment in time I am unable to take payments, and am therefore experiencing a loss of income. The level of customer service has been extremely slow, and without any sort of timeframe for resolution I will have no choice but to look for another platform which would be extremely frustrating as I have already put in a lot of time and effort.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated,

Elizabeth

Hi @oliverandrews, really sorry to hear this! Would you mind trying this additional steps and see if it would help? If you can go to your Square Dashboard > Account & Settings > Locations, make a small change to your location information (like adding a space in the business bio), click Save then wait for about 5 minutes to see if it will help resolve the issue.

If it doesn't, would you mind sharing a link to the website so I can have a look here on my end?
